desperate to move Robbie Williams

Robbie Williams 'Bodies' singer has slashed the price of his English country mansion by more than 1 million because he is so desperate to move back to sunny Los Angeles.
Robbie Williams is selling his country mansion for a 1 million loss because he can't face the British winter.
In England after just eight months, the 'Bodies' singer and his girlfriend Ayda Field - who bought the 18th century Wiltshire house for 8.5 million in February have slashed the estate's price so they can get back to sunny Los Angeles as quickly as possible.
An insider said: "Robbie is desperate to get things moving quickly rather than hang around just to get a bit more money. Being settled back in the States quickly with Ayda is more important to him.
"He's already got a few people interested in the mansion."
The 35 year old star has previously admitted the house - which has its own helicopter hangar, temples and fountains - was an "impulse buy" when he returned to England after five years in the US.
He and Ayda were planning to make it their family home, but quickly became fed up with the rainy weather.
He currently said: "Ayda's always wanted to have the change in the seasons - and it's winter and glorious. The garden is pretty special, a winter wonderland and you just want to get cosy.
"Then it comes to summer and the weather doesn't different that much. Then you think, 'Hmm, LA was good'. Every day you wake up you're in the sun. Your body feels different, your mind feels different - so we're going back."
Although Robbie would like to keep the house, he has admitted he can't afford to maintain it if he's not living there.
He said: "I can't really afford to keep it. Maintenance is a lot. I've done a few impulse buys and it leaves you no money."

The former Take That singer who checked into an In 2007 Arizona renewal centre has confessed his addiction to medicines and powerful painkillers became so severe he believed he was hours away from death. He told Britain’s The Sun newspaper: “At the time you don’t give a s**t if you pop your clogs. I must have been very, very close. I would have carried on, to be honest. You get to the point that far into your addiction, you’re not bothered whether you live or die, because that’s where it takes you.“It was the American addiction. Prescription drugs… I would do 20 Vicodin in a night. It was a painkiller. Then I’d take Adderall, which was like speed for people with ADHD. I’d be doing colossal, heart stopping amounts of that. You can buy Sativa, which is basically LSD for five minutes. It’s powerful stuff.“I was on my way out. I might have been a couple of days of 24 hours from dying.”The 35 year old ‘Bodies’ singer finally entered rehab on his 33rd birthday after his team urged him to seek help. He explained: “My managers were supposed to look me on a Wednesday. I had a big blow up on Monday night and then on Tuesday I was on a sofa coming in and out of consciousness. Then I heard their voices and I thought, ‘It’s Tuesday. I bet you I’m going to rehab today.’“They came in and I think they were expecting a fight. They sat down and said, ‘Rob, you look f**king awful.’ I said, ‘I’ll go rehab, you don’t have to say f**king nasty things to me.’ They had a plane waiting for me. I was sitting on this plane kicking the seats, I was so angry with myself.”His problem admits Robbie with addiction first started when he was a teenager and worsened during the early days of Take That.He said: “When I started going clubbing at 16 we were on acid. Then it progressed into cocaine. Before the acid, heroin.“I haven’t had a drink for 10 years. It’s a f**king miracle. I was a horrendous drunk.“When I was 19 and went to the MTV Awards and did some Ephedrine, a stimulant, cocaine and some ecstasy. I was supposed to be doing this performance and there was black bile coming up. Our manager got a doctor in. After that I thought, ‘I’ve got a problem. S**t.’ I was 19.”
