Robbie previously revealed that when they are old enough to start drinking they will have the same addictive personality that he has.
He said: “I’ve been sober for 20 years, I haven’t had a drink for 20 years. In that period there was a period of time for a year where I relapsed on a certain substance.
“When I was 19 something happened to me one evening where I woke up the next day and I thought, ‘Oh, I’m an alcoholic and I’m an addict.’ I didn’t do anything about it for another two to three years. I have mainly been a sober person for a majority of my life.
"Where I am now as a 46 year old is content. There’s no binge. The last bastion of negative addictions for me that I can’t cope with is food, and I’m getting that down, I’m managing that, I’m managing that addiction.

Robbie admits he started taking drugs to try and cope with the enormous fame he experienced from the age of 16 as a member of Take That.
The Angels hitmaker - who became one of the world’s biggest solo stars after quitting the band in 1995 - would booze and take drugs to try and fulfil people’s expectations of him, and it took him a long time to realise he didn’t have to destroy himself with substances to please other people.
Speaking on the Bought The T-Shirt podcast, he said: “I took drugs to become the person that the world was telling me I should be. When really I’m an introvert, and it’s OK to be an introvert.
“I’m an introvert with extrovert tendencies. I’m an extrovert for a living but I’m an introvert in real life.”
