Singer Robbie Williams was seen mingling with Ellen DeGeneres and her wife Portia de Rossi at the weekend, with the trio enjoying a pub outing in the Cotswolds.
They were spotted looking happy and relaxed at The Bull Charlbury which has been around since the 1500s and has previously been frequented by the likes of Princess Beatrice and her sister, Princess Eugenie.
An onlooker told HELLO! that they saw the trio at a table in the pub's leafy garden. At one point, Robbie, 51, and Ellen, 67, "looked to be having a deep conversation," while Ellen's wife, Portia, 52, could be seen partaking in a nearby chat.

She had her platinum blonde locks swept over to one side in a playful hairdo.
