Robbie Williams wants to follow in James Corden's footsteps and become a chat show host.

The 'Let Me Entertain Show' hitmaker has admitted becoming a judge on 'The X Factor' has given him a taste for television, and he would love to get the chance to take the 'Late Late Show' host's lead by pursuing a new career fronting his own programme.

Speaking on an Instagram live stream, Robbie said: "James Corden is incredibly talented. I'm going to go into TV, 'X Factor' has opened a few doors and James is my sort of inspiration for what I'm planning to be able to do. He makes it look so easy."

Although Robbie, 45, kept quiet on any potential plans, Idris Elba could be an obvious choice for his first guest after he admitted the talented star is his "man crush".
