Britpop icon Robbie Williams has unveiled a new set of gnashers, replacing his teeth after three decades of wear, tear – and rubbing coke into his gums.

The former Take That star and Angels singer, 50, revealed that he is finally having his teeth replaced after years of hard living.

In a post shared to his Instagram account on Friday, Robbie shared a snap of his temporary new teeth which had been installed while he awaits a permanent new set.

Grinning in a cheerful selfie, Robbie displayed a bright white set of teeth – temporary placeholders while he waits to have an all-new set of chompers fitted.

In a candid post, he revealed how his old teeth had been destroyed by decades of abuse.

In addition to years of not brushing his teeth, this includes his using them as a bottle opener, downing copious amounts of Espresso, and literal coke abuse.

In a lengthy post which accompanied his selfie, Robbie wrote: ‘So yesterday I went for a consultation for my new teeth. That’s what I thought I was doing. Imagine my surprise when I came out with a full set of brand new teeth.

‘At least the temporary ones before the individual ones are placed in a month or so.

He added: ‘I f***ing love them.’

After describing the joy of a ‘free-semi-relapse’ that was three hours of laughing gas, Robbie described the circumstances behind his new gnashers.

‘Anyway, these are my new teeth for a while. Maybe a few of you were fond of the old ones. THEY WERE F****D. They served me well, But I absolutely abused them.

‘Opening bottles with them. Espresso staining them. Rubbing coke on them
Not brushing them properly. Clenching them for 3 whole decades.’

The star signed off: ‘We’ve been through a lot together. But now it’s time to move on. Goodbye my little nubby-yellow-friends.’

In the comments below Robbie’s post, his fans were quick to congratulate Robbie on his shiny new smile.

‘Love your new teeth and your joyful smile. Do you get to keep your old teeth and put them out for the tooth fairy?’ asked klsymons.

‘Look at that gorgeous smile! Never change Robbie (well apart from your new teeth! Thats ok)’ replied c14ire82_.

‘The smile is shining even more brightly now,’ wrote debysh.

‘Looking great @robbiewilliams don’t like those big chomper porcelain veneers some celebrities get,’ said Iscleary2268.

The star has been open about his issues with drugs following a stint in rehab in 2007 after taking prescription and class A drugs.

He said in 2009: ‘I would do 20 Vicodin in a night. I might have been 24 hours away from dying.

‘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. That’s where I was. You try your best to balance them off against each other but you never manage it.

‘It was the American addiction. Prescription pills. It wasn’t the best period of my life. You see Anna Nicole Smith goes off – pills. Michael Jackson goes off – pills. And Heath Ledger. I can relate to all that.’

Robbie has turned his life around in the years since and has been sober for more than 20 eyars, opening up about his battle with addiction and depression during a performance at the Isle of Wight Festival last year.

‘Two things saved me from this… I didn’t want to be here, three or four times I thought, “I’ve had enough, I’m bailing out, I can’t stand this anymore,” he told the audience.

He credited wife Adya as the first, having married in 2010 and with whom he shares four children -daughters Theodora and Colette, and sons Charlton and Beau.

He then revealed that the love of his fans helped him battle the negative voices, saying: ‘When that negative head tells me, “I’m s**t, I don’t deserve this, you’re not good enough, you can’t sing, you look ugly, you’re fat” – all these things that the negative voices can say, you grab hold with something, anything that can make you feel okay in this world that is brutal at times,

‘One big thing that I’ve had for the last 32 years is your love. You turning up. You smiling,’ he continued.
