Robbie Williams has been mocked online after looking less-than-impressed after greeting fans, using hand sanitiser live on air while grimacing.

The singer jumped into the crowd to perform Auld Lang Syne during an intimate gig at Westminster's Central Hall.

However, he appeared to regret doing so, looking disgusted and washing his hands immediately after.

Some thought his exaggerated expression meant he could be joking.

Others disagreed, concluding from his actions that he did not enjoy the close encounter with his fans.
