Robbie William's to sell UK Mansion at a loss

The 35-year-old wants to return to Los

Angeles with his American actress

girlfriend Ayda Field, 30, in time for

Christmas.

Williams paid nearly £8.5 million for

18th century Compton Bassett House

in February. The home comes

complete with a helicopter hangar,

temples and fountains. The estate

uses so much electricity that it has its

own substation.

He intended to use the home while promoting his new single and album, Reality Killed the Video Star. But he has now

reportedly asked his estate agent to slash the price in order to make a quick sale.

A source told The Sun: "Robbie is desperate to get things moving quickly rather than hang around just to get a bit

more money. Being settled back in the States quickly with Ayda is more important to him.

"He's already got a few people interested in the mansion."

Williams has previously admitted that the seven-bedroom house near Calne, Wilts, was an "impulse buy" when he

returned to Britain after five years in America.

He said that he and Ayda dreamed of bringing up kids there but then they decided to move back to LA after becoming

fed up with the wet weather.

Williams originally planned to keep the mansion for a few more years while continuing to promote his new album. But

he has admitted that he struggling to afford it.

The singer, who has sold 55 million albums worldwide, said: "I can't really afford to keep it. Maintenance is a lot. I've

done a few impulse buys and it leaves you no money."

Earlier this month Williams played a comeback gig at the Electric Proms. He revealed that he and Gary Barlow had

settled their differences, and even hinted at a Take That reunion.

Meanwhile, the comeback star will turn his new hits all classical for fans when he meshes his 'Reality Killed the Video Star' tunes with strings and horns as he opens the BBC Electric Proms at Camden's Roundhouse tomorrow.

Robbie Williams makes public wedding vow to Ayda in front of ex Geri

Robbie Williams made his biggest public display of affection yet to the woman hailed for turning around his reclusive world as his ex Geri Halliwell was forced to watch on in front of thousands.

Pointing up at girlfriend Ayda Field, Williams dedicated his own specially crafted love song to the US actress despite his ex turning up to give her one-time love a dose of moral support at London's Camden Roundhouse.

But it was the Spice Girl who was for once forced to slip into the shadows, as Williams set about honouring Field for turning around his fortunes after his pop career slipped into long days of UFO spotting.

azing up at his lover, Williams hinted he is ready to wed her, telling the BBC Electric Proms crowd: 'This song is about my missus'.

Sensing the crowd's unease at the rare foray into his private world, Williams, 35, joked:

Suddenly I'm not the jealous guy, Another sign that we're doing it right…Cause you fill me up, each and every day

'You're not sure what to do. I've never had one of them.'

And if the lyrics to Won't Do That from next month's album Reality Killed The Video Star are anything to go by, it won't be long before the 35-year-old will be leaving his hedonistic bachelor days behind for good.

Making his intentions loud and clear he sang: 'You would never be the trouble and strife, If I made you my Swiss army wife.'

Revealing the extent of his infatuation after meeting Ayda, 30, during his years away in LA, he swooned: 'I don't mind when the boys look at you. If I was them I'd be doin' it to.'

Crediting the actress for changing his ways, Williams sang: 'Suddenly I'm not the jealous guy, Another sign that we're doing it right…Cause you fill me up, each and every day.'

Rob's public love-in comes after he recently declared he's ready to have kids with his lover as well.

He said: 'I was always thinking, 'How am I going to keep the old chap in the pants?' But Ayda and me are very loved up - sprogs on the way and all that business.'
