Sophie Ellis-Bextor has addressed an old clip of herself, which has resurfaced in Robbie William's new Netflix documentary, saying she was "rude" to the star and that she's "not proud" of her behaviour.
Taking to Instagram, the 44-year-old English singer posted a lengthy statement apologising to the singer and her 472,000 followers for her old remark.
She stated: "In 1998, aged 19, I was very rude about @robbiewilliams and the clip of me being horrid is included in his brilliant Netflix documentary.
"I didn’t need to see it again to feel bad. I genuinely have felt crappy about how I spoke for the 25 years since I said it.
"I thought it was clever to be gobby back then but it wasn’t cool then and it’s even worse to see it now."

She added: "Not proud. Not how I’m raising my kids. That being said, I wanted to reach out and apologise so a few years back I found an address for Robbie and wrote him a note to say how sorry I was.
"He was very gracious and forgiving. We ended up meeting last summer and I spent time with him, his amazing wife @aydafieldwilliams and his gorgeous kids.
"It was lovely to be able to become friends and we have now made some songs together.
"I suppose the moral of this story is, as ever, be kind. To own your mistakes.
"And if you’re ever cruel, try to make sure it’s not filmed as it’s bloody brutal to see sharp-tongued teenage me after all these years!"
