For whatever reasons, people everywhere have a slight obsession with the sex lives of celebrities.
Whether it’s finding out why Stephen Fry didn’t have sex for 17 years, reading about the young women who dated Hugh Hefner, or Robbie Williams admitting that his and Ayda Field's marriage is ‘sexless’, people are always fascinated by who and how celebrities are shagging.
Williams made the admission when discussing the fact that, according to him ‘everyone knows there’s no sex after marriage’.

This may come as a shock for many as the British musician is widely regarded as a sex icon – however his wife Ayda Field herself made another admission that may dispel the myth of Robbie.
Speaking on ITV's Loose Women back in 2016, Ayda and the panel discussed the idea of men ‘faking an orgasm’.
Ayda, who married the Take That singer back in 2010, revealed that she wouldn’t be offended because she herself had faked orgasms several times before – including with Robbie.
She said: “I don’t think I’d be offended if Rob had faked it because, I’ve faked it before.

“I’m not saying ‘just with Rob’ but in general, I’ve got two kids, I’m tired, there’s tea on, I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here, there’s things I’ve got to do.”
When questioned about why she said: “I guess I’m just too much of a people pleaser to go ‘guys it’s not gonna happen’. I kinda feel bad like I want them to be encouraged by their efforts.”
She said that she wanted them to feel ‘strong like a bull’, before joking that it was just between her and the audience.
Ayda stated that Robbie was on his way to pick her up – but the singer ended up coming out and surprising her.
He jokingly confronted her, saying: “Was I listening? I was in the green room.

“You have been faking it? With me, Robbie Williams? 18 BRITs.”
He went on to laugh and say: "It’s alright darling, I love you."
The pair’s ability to laugh over her admission is a good sign undoubtably, but many will be wondering what led them to admit they lived a ‘sexless marriage’.
As well as discussing how having kids and getting married effected their sex lives, Robbie has spoken about how stopping taking testosterone had an effect on his libido.
He said in the interview, after admitting there is ‘no sex after marriage’: “The sex we had when I was on testosterone was incredible; it was all the time. We were insatiable.

"It goes to show how into each other we really are, though, because when I was on it, we couldn’t take our hands off each other.”
Ayda herself gave a sweet comment on the situation however, saying: “We are always cuddling and kissing, holding hands, and touching each other when we are just watching TV on the sofa, or a movie, or whatever.
“Intimacy is the important, meaningful side of love. I have friends who feel obliged to have sex with their husbands and that must be awful.
“Me and Rob are on the same page. We are happy.”
