When she says Honey, Robbie Williams says G.

Robbie Williams was instrumental in helping Sharon Osbourne select her over-25s and now he’s backing her most controversial contestant.

Asked who he wants to win the current series, Robbie said: “I like Honey, I think she is entertaining, much to everyone’s dismay.”

However, asked if he wanted to record a track with her, Robbie looked sheepish and said: “I’m really busy right now, promoting my album and tour.”

Robbie also backed Finnish singer Saara Aalto, even though he was not keen on her recent rendition of Girls Aloud’s Sound of the Underground, saying: “I have been impressed. I don’t think this week was that good for her, I thought the arrangement wasn’t that great.

“She has a huge personality, I like the craziness. When I saw her at judges houses the craziness was overwhelming, but on Saturday nights she projects well and has a great voice.”
