The 'Angels' hitmaker said his fiancee, US actress Ayda Field, is constantly nagging him to start a family and he is slowly preparing himself to agree to her wishes.

Speaking of becoming a father, Robbie said: 'I'm feeling good things. She keeps going on about it and really, really wants one – and I'm coming around to the idea. But it's slowly, slowly catchy monkey.'

Robbie – who will receive an Outstanding Contribution to Music honour at the BRIT Awards in London tomorrow (16.02.10) – is currently focusing on improving his mental and physical health and believes he is making good progress.

He added in an interview with The Sun newspaper: 'It sounds heavy but I was crippled with nerves over my latest album. But I'm in really good shape both mentally and physically. Mentally, I'm doing really well. I often get sidetracked and let my thoughts take me to a place that I don't really want to go.

'I've been doing an awful lot about that recently.'

The 36-year-old star was seen entering a recording studio with former band Take That recently and has finally admitted they are working together.

He said: 'I could tell you about it, but they would kill me. Let's but it this way, something big is on its way.'
