    Robbie Williams fears that fat jabs are making him go blind

    The former Take That singer is convinced that the Mounjaro he takes to help him lose weight is having a detrimental impact on his eyesight and confessed that he finds it hard to see fans during his shows.


    Robbie, 51, told The Sun newspaper: "I was quite an early adopter of the jabs but what I'm also noticing is that my eyesight's not very good.

    "It's been blurry for a while now, and it's only getting worse.

    "I don't believe it's age; I believe it's the jabs.

    "I went to an American football game the other night and the players were just blobs on a green field in front of me. And I was like, 'What the f*** is happening?'

    "And on my most recent tour, there's this thing I do where I sing She's The One to a girl every night.

    "Basically, I was looking in the direction of these women looking up at me, having this experience that's quite obviously incredible to them, and little do they know I can't see them."

    The Angels singer continued: "I've been to the optician about it but didn't mention the Mounjaro as I hadn't made the connection then.

    "My prescription's changed, and I had to buy a whole new load of glasses.

    "Everybody's experiencing it, because I'll say to people, 'Blurry, right?'. And they go, 'Oh s***, that's the thing?'

    "Of course it's worrying and by being honest today, obviously I want to warn people reading this of the potential risks, to make sure they do their research.

    "But seriously, I'm that sick I'd probably stay on it until the sight in one eye has completely gone."

    Despite impacting his sight, Robbie has felt far less "mental anguish" since he started having the weight-loss jabs.

    He said: "The lack of mental anguish that I've felt since I've been on Mounjaro is completely and utterly liberating.

    "And maybe that's got something to do with my continuous upward curve into feeling actually all right on the planet.

    "For the longest time, mentally, I've not been very well. And it would seem that in the last 10 years, the clouds have cleared, and I'm a different person.

    "I'm one of those people that likes working out now: Stretching, discipline, taking care of myself.

    "Every morning I get up and do some mobility stuff on my back. Then I do a hundred dips, 200 press-ups, 100 squats every day and just loads of core stuff.

    "Now I want to be able to do pull-ups."
