If you haven't yet binge watched Netflix's bonkers documentary Tiger King, well quite simply, what else have you been doing during lockdown?!

But if you have, then you probably want to keep reading, because not only are we being graced with potentially the best memes ever made featuring overnight icons Joe Exotic and Carole Baskin, but now Robbie Williams has got in on the act.

Robbie, who recently shaved off his hair, dug deep in his wardrobe to dress up as Tiger King Joe Exotic for a themed workout, and it's perhaps the greatest thing to come out of this lockdown.

Robbie's wife Ayda Williams posted the workout to her Instagram page, showing Robbie ripping off his trousers to unveil his ICONIC 'Rock DJ' pants, along with a cowboy hat and chain.

Ayda captioned the video with, 'Supermarket Sweat: The Tiger King Edition. Unleash your inner tiger with me and ‘Rob Exotica’ in this Netflix and Chill inspired workout. @robbiewilliams #transformationtuesday #tigertuesday #tigerking #tigerpants #robexotica #netflixandchill'. (sic)

Watch the hilarious video below:

Robbie and Ayda's celebrity friends were quick to comment on the video, Olly Murs wrote, 'Robbie 🤣🤣🤣👏🏻', with Pussycat Doll Ashley Roberts adding, '🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 this is amazing 🐅'.

A fan then wrote, 'You guys are the best ❤️ thanks for keeping us entertained 💙', with another writing, 'Cheered me up 😂👏Great sense of humour guys ❤️', (sic)

Ayda later shared a photo of her husband's new look, captioning the shot with, 'My Tiger King... Introducing Rob Erotica'. (sic)
