We're just days away from seeing Robbie Williams on stage at Hits Live Manchester on the 17th November, so we thought we'd catch up with him ahead of his performance. The pop star answered some questions about his teenage-self, including when and where his first kiss was, and what his favourite TV show was.

Robbie will be joining our amazing line-up of Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson, Mabel, Mark Ronson, Anne-Marie, Tom Walker, Zara Larsson and Jonas Blue on Sunday at Manchester Arena.

Admitting he liked a bit of Moonlighting, a comedy/drama TV show starring Cybill Shepherd and Bruce Willis as private detectives, we just had to ask if he had ever met Bruce Willis, and of course he had!

The 'Candy' singer revealed the unusual place he met the Die Hard actor, saying, "Yeah, in a trough, having a pee... I looked over at him and was like, 'Are you alright?', he said 'Couldn't be better!'"

WATCH: My Teenage Self with Robbie Williams

Robbie continued to pick up questions for his teenage self, and when it came to his first kiss, he revealed that he was very young! The former Take That singer explained, "I was really young, like nine maybe? Nine or 10, I was still at primary school, so would have to be 10 I suppose, and it was a girl called Lisa. Can't remember her second name and we called it the castle in Tunstall Park."

He went to reveal after kissing her, he went on to kiss someone else, joking, "Player!".

Robbie is a special guest at Hits Live Manchester, and we cannot wait to welcome him on stage this Sunday! Final release tickets are now available, don't miss your chance to see him this weekend.
