Robbie Williams is writing a song for comic pal Paddy McGuinness's new adult Christmas panto.

It has a credit-crunch theme - with panto actors going on strike after the Princess gets kidnapped.

The Angels crooner agreed after Paddy chatted to Robbie's pal Jonathan Wilkes about doing a spoof one-off performance.

Paddy told TV Biz: "I thought it would a good idea to do something a bit different.

"We all got talking about songs and Robbie said he's going to write one."

Bolton comic Paddy, 36, is not banking on the chart-topper joining him on stage in Manchester.

He joked: "It would be like Jesus Christ walking on. There's only room for my ego on that stage."

Paddy's dating show Take Me Out returns to ITV1 later this year for a second series.

Robbie Williams is a fan of BGT star Paul Burling

Britain's Got Talent star Paul Burling has claimed that Robbie Williams is a fan of his comedy impressions, according to a report.
The comedian wowed the audience and judges with his audition performance on last Saturday's episode of Cowell's reality TV talent show.
Simon, who claimed that he "usually hates" vocal impressionists, was particularly impressed with Burling's mimicry of Harry Hill.
Paul told a tabloid newspaper that Cowell is not his only celebrity admirer.
Burling told the News of The World that he had been hired by Robbie Williams's father Pete to perform at a holiday resort in the 80s.
Paul explained: "I was a barman and word got round that I had this talent. Pete asked me to join his act.
"We worked together for a few months and it was great.
"Robbie was a nice lad. I haven't seen Pete in years but I thank him for giving me a leg-up."
Burling is currently one of the early favourites to win this year's contest after bookies revealed that he has been priced at 10/1 to take the crown.

Robbie Williams Arranges Pre-Nup

Robbie Williams has allegedly asked his lawyers to prepare a pre-nuptial agreement before he marries fiancée Ayda Field.
The Bodies singer is said to have wanted the legal agreement drawn up ahead of his wedding to the actress incase things don't work out so they can decide how their assets are divided if the couple were to split.
A source told The Daily Star: "They're head over heels in love with each other but are realistic about the pressures of a celebrity marriage. Both their parents are divorced and they can't be bothered to risk time, money and heartache so they think a pre-nup is essential."
The former Take That star is rumoured to be walking down the aisle with Ayda at the end of this year and is said to want an 'intimate' ceremony unlike most celebrity weddings…think the total opposite to Katie Price and Peter Andre's bash.
The insider added: "They don't want a huge showbiz wedding with glossy magazines in attendance and flashbulbs going off…"
"It is vitally important to both of them that it stays private with only a handful of people knowing where and when the event will be."
