Robbie Williams and Ayda Field save money by sharing 'bath water'

Robbie Williams and Ayda Field "share bath water".

The former Take That star and his wife might be living in luxury with two sprawling homes - one in Los Angeles and one in London - but Robbie still likes to save money wherever he can, including hopping into the bath after Ayda has finished to keep their water bill down.

Ayda - who hails from LA - said: "We do share bath water. He thinks I'm the Queen for having an en suite my whole life!"

The 41-year-old model says Robbie - who grew up in Stoke-on-Trent without much money - has clung on to his penny-pinching ways, and even stops his wife from burning candles unnecessarily, as he thinks she's "burning money".

She recalled: "I lit the candle then I just went into the bathroom to pee. By the time I'd come back he'd blown out the candle and went, 'You're just burning money. You're not even in the room!' I'd say that's the difference between Beverly Hills and Stoke-on-Trent."

Robbie, 46, is believed to be worth over £200 million, and admits he's only just started to let himself spend his money, as he used to "battle" with the idea of being "successful".

Speaking in an excerpt from Ayda's podcast, 'Postcards From The Edge', which was featured in OK! magazine, he said: "I'm only now, as a 46 year old, giving myself the permission to be that person that has been this successful. It's something I battled with for a long time."
