..Excited father-to-be Robbie Williams revealed a picture of his wife Ayda's baby bump on his website today.

The singer, 38, posted the picture of his pregnant wife posing in their LA home, writing, 'My two girls!'

Ayda, 32, lifts her T-shirt to reveal her growing belly in the snap, beaming with happiness.

She wears cropped tracksuit bottoms and a tight-fitting T-shirt, and despite her growing stomach is clearly remaining in great shape.

'My two girls!' Robbie Williams posted a picture of his pregnant wife Ayda on his website today

The couple's first child is due in September.

Robbie announced the happy news back in March that he and his wife of almost two years are expecting a baby. Less than a week later, they revealed she is a girl.

It was recently claimed that the parents-to-be are contemplating naming their daughter Roberta, after her famous father, but also like Genevieve and Alice.

They have already shopped for the new addition at Petit Trésor, the exclusive baby store on Robertson Boulevard near their £9 million mansion in Beverly Hills.

Custom-designed sleigh cribs cost up to £2,400 and a Notte Fatata which stores nappies, will cost £9,291.

Baby joy: The couple, who married in August 2010, are expecting their first child in September

A source told the Star: 'He's always wanted to be a dad so he's going all out so his new daughter will be treated like a princess.

'He wants her top have the best of everything.'

And one of the singer's neighbours told the paper: 'It's safe to say he's completely gone gaga over his baby - and why not? He's a great guy and I'm sure he'll make a wonderful father.'

Williams announced that he is to become a father in typically comic fashion, writing on his website in March: 'Hey friendlies, I've been keeping a secret from you all. Me and Ayda are going to be a Mummy and Daddy this year!!!!!!!!

He added: 'We had sex! It works!

'We've seen scans and cried... looked at babies in commercials and teared up... the nursery is already planned.

'Basically I'm in love with a little person growing in mummy's belly... and can't wait to be a daddy. Crying now.

'Much love, much joy. Roberto, Mum and Little Bump. xxx'

Robbie Williams isn't about to take speculation that he is piling on the pounds lying down.

The singer hit back at the suggestion via his blog yesterday, posting a picture that certainly proved that his washboard abs are back for good.

Robbie, 38, posed topless for a picture showcasing his flat stomach and smugly giving his critics the finger.

Still want to call me fat? Robbie Williams had a message for anyone questioning whether he had piled on the pounds in this picture posted on his blog

The Feel singer wore loose-fitting grey tracksuit bottoms for the picture, which appears to be taken in the living room of his LA home.

Referring to the photographers who took the unflattering picture, he wrote: 'Thank you for your internationally syndicated horrid picture of me (the one you put up of me leaving Taverna Tony's...)

'Just to "weigh" it up here's me at home the next day. With much love and respect, Robert.'

'Let's weight it up': The singer was responding to unflattering pictures taken over the weekend where he appeared larger than usual

The offending picture was taken as Robbie left Greek restaurant Taverna Tony;s in Malibu.

Williams wore a dark blue jacket which gave the illusion of a paunch. His broad smile also created a double chin, sparking discussion over the singer's weight.

Since ending his tour with Take That last year, Robbie has returned to working on solo material.

He is also gearing up for the next SoccerAid game in May. He will captain the England team while actor Michael Sheen will head up The Rest of the World team.

Bad angle: But his 'paunch' was simply an illusion created by his boxy jacket, and the 38-year-old's flat stomach today spoke for itself

Marvin Humes, Aston Merrygold, Olly Murs and Gordon Ramsay are just some of the names set to participate.

Robbie wrote on his blog recently: 'Soccer Aid returns for the fourth time, and with it a renewed sense of passion for this remarkable event that can help vulnerable children all around the world.

'I make no bones about it, we lost, The Rest of The World managed to scrape together a jammy victory. Soccer Aid this year will be bigger and better than ever because this time it's personal. Michael Sheen, I'm gunning for you son.'

Severe illness: Robbie Williams has been laid up in bed on a drip after a bout of food poisoning


Robbie Williams has been forced to apologise to fans after a serious bout of food poisoning meant he had to cancel an appearance in Denmark.

The Take That star posted a picture from his sickbed where he is on a drip after losing a large amount of fluid.

Robbie and the rest of the manband had been due to play the second of two dates at the Parken Stadium in Copenhagen, but pulled out after he was struck down with severe food poisoning.


Posting the photo, the 37-year-old said: 'Hey folks. Thank you for your messages and love. I'm not completely out of the woods yet but feeling much better.

'Gutted for everyone involved with the tour.

'Feeling dreadful for letting the fans down. I'm so, so sorry. Here's me and my drip.'

Cancelled: Take That had to halt their show in Copenhagen due to Robbie's illness


According to reports, his illness was caused by eating grilled Danish black lobster with lobster salad and saffron aioli.

A source told The Sun newspaper said: 'It hasn't been pretty. It's all down to a dodgy lobster he ate at a hotel.

'Jason and Mark wanted to go ahead and do it without him, so as not to let down the fans. But there was something to do with the insurance that stopped them.'

Cracks?: It's been claimed that Robbie's behaviour is causing rifts within the group


Meanwhile, it's been claimed that cracks are starting to appear between the group's members with Robbie alleged to be the cause.

A source has claimed that band members Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, Jason Orange, Mark Owen are upset after Williams' foul-mouthed rants.

In the Daily Star, the source claimed: 'Major cracks are starting to appear with the lads. They aren't spending much time with each other backstage and it seems Robbie is causing most of the friction," dailystar.co.uk quoted the source as saying.

'There was talk of extending the tour and recording more material but that's now been scrapped. The other four are sick of Robbie stealing all the headlines with his bad behaviour - rather than people talking about the group's performance.

'It's once again turned into The Robbie Williams Show and the other lads feel like Robbie's just using the tour to relaunch his solo career. And Gary has also struggled to balance his X Factor commitments which has caused a few dramas too.'
