Robbie Williams made Julia Roberts blush when he praised her cooking skills during a live performance.
The singer, 51, appeared on The Graham Norton Show on Friday alongside Hollywood star Julia, Colin Farrell, Benedict Cumberbatch and Gloria Estefan.
Robbie entered the studio while singing his new track Pretty Face, and made a last-minute change to the lyrics.
The chorus of his new song starts with “Such a pretty face, such a pretty face,” but he changed the repeated phrase to dedicate a line to Julia’s cooking skills.
Taking to the stage before sitting next to the Pretty Woman star, Robbie sang ‘What a pretty face, Julia’s banana bread’.
Julia was seen resting her head in her hands as she blushed at the lyrics, before flashing a huge smile.

It’s not the first time in recent weeks that their cooking skills have made headlines, with Julia’s After The Hunt co-stars Ayo Edebiri and Andrew Garfield also praising them.
Discussing his banana bread talents in an interview with Page sixAyo said, ‘I would say, I don’t know, the first percentile.’
Meanwhile, Andrew added that he believed it was more the ‘top 0.5 percentile’.
Elsewhere, Robbie was left speechless when she made a wild prostitute confession during her appearance on the show.
Admitting he once watched Pretty Woman six times in a row, Robbie recalled how the film, in which Julia starred, ‘inspired him’.
Robbie said: ‘Julia Roberts. Oh my God, I can’t. I’ve watched Pretty Woman six times in a row.
‘And at the end of the six times I thought ‘one day I’m going to take a prostitute shopping’. And I did. I did. So thank you.
Julia was left speechless by Robbie’s story, when Graham interrupted: ‘That’s a lovely story, Robbie. This is really adorable.

Julia, who was 22 at the time, played sex worker Vivien Ward, and Richard Geré, then 40, starred as billionaire businessman Edward Lewis.
Vivian, who was hired by Edward, ended up falling in love after he initially hired her to accompany him to some social events.
The film was written by struggling screenwriter JF Lawton and cast an unknown Julia in its lead role, before becoming the fifth highest-grossing film of all time upon its release.
During the interview, Robbie also confessed that she canceled her album release after realizing she would be facing Taylor Swift.
At a comeback show at Dingwalls in London, the Angels hitmaker told fans he postponed Britpop after discovering Taylor had set her release date and admitted there was no point trying to compete with the biggest star in the world.
“We’re all pretending this isn’t about Taylor Swift, but damn it is,” Robbie told the crowd, according to The Sun. ‘You can’t compete with that one, that’s the truth.’
Robbie, who currently shares the record of 15 UK No. 1 albums with The Beatles, confessed he had one thing on his mind: breaking that record.
He continued: “I want 16 albums at number one and you know Taylor decided to release her album a week before me and I just went for ‘for God’s sake’.”
Robbie joked that the decision was ‘selfish’, but insisted: ‘How many times in your life can you have the most number one albums the UK has ever had?’
Taylor broke Adele’s streaming record when her new album, The Life Of A Showgirl, racked up 3.5 million copies sold in its first week.
The modern-era single-week sales record was previously held by Adele’s album 25, with 3.378 million copies sold upon its release in 2015.
The Life Of A Showgirl sold 3.2 million physical and digital copies and 300,000 equivalent streaming album units, for a total of 3.5 million.
Adele’s 25 secured 3.482 million equivalent units in 2015, with 3.378 million from traditional sales and the rest from streaming.
A record 5 million fans pre-saved The Life Of A Showgirl on Spotify and a special vinyl edition, available online, sold out in less than an hour.
