With his hair styled into a quiff, Robbie Williams looks raring to go ahead of the Children In Need concert tonight where it is hoped he will finally join Take That on stage.
The singer, 35, was mobbed by fans as he nipped outside the Royal Albert Hall in London for a quick cigarette break where tonight's gig will be held.
Yesterday Robbie and former band mate Gary Barlow showed they really are the best of friends as they posed with Fearne Cotton at Radio 1's Maida Vale studios where the acts have been rehearsing.

So excited: The singer had his hair styled into a quiff and looked relaxed as he prepares to entertain the crowds tonight and maybe perform with Take That
Take That and Robbie are scheduled to perform separate sets, but the showbiz world is holding its breath they will also perform together at the end of the show.
Paul McCartney is to sing Hey Jude with the band in an astonishing finale to the concert, which will also see the likes of Cheryl Cole, Leona Lewis and Katherine Jenkins take to the stage. A source revealed: 'It's going to be a truly memorable performance. Everybody is so excited - Robbie especially. It is going to be awesome.'
Back for a good cause: Robbie and Gary Barlow with Fearne Cotton at Radio 1's Maida Vale studio yesterday
Robbie and Gary showed any past tension was well behind them yesterday as they hung out at Radio 1's studios in Maida Vale. They posed with presenter Fearne as Robbie arrived to perform on the DJ's Live Lounge show.
Gary, who recently renewed his friendship with the reformed star, stopped off the studios to catch up with Robbie.
He stayed to watch the 35-year-old perform a cover of The Killers hit Human, which he called his favourite song of the year, and his new single You Know Me. Robbie's comeback album Reality Killed The Video Star is on course to become number one this weekend. He left Take That in 1995 to go solo and became a huge star in his own right. Meanwhile, the band split up after a year as a foursome and disappeared from the spotlight.
But the four reunited in 2005 and made a sensational comeback without Robbie, just as his career started to flounder. In the Radio 1 interview, Robbie admitted he thought his time as a successful singer might have been over for good before his latest album.
Band on the run: Take That bandmates Jason Orange and Howard Donald are set to jam with Sir Paul McCartney. He told Fearne: 'Everything seems a bit alien. I thought it would be like riding a bike but it's like riding a very wonky bike... It's been very odd and very lovely, I thought my times had gone.'
There have been rumours that Robbie plans to permanently rejoin the band, since ending the feud with Gary in recent years and calling him 'my new best friend'. Also adding fuel to the fire were reports that Mark Owen, 37, Gary, 38, Howard Donald, 41, and Jason Orange, 39, were spotted entering a New York recording studio at the same time as Robbie.
On healing the rift, Robbie said yesterday: 'It's a complete weight of my shoulders I didn't know it was there.
'You carry around all this resentment and bitterness for such a long time I thought it wasn't there anymore... We put everything out on the table - I thought this, they thought that, and then at the end we had a hug up and what was left was what we had at the beginning... just five guys that love each other.'
The way they were: Take That in 1992. Robbie (centre) quit three years later
