Pop star shocked by children’s living conditions

ROBBIE WILLIAMS cuddles a little Russian girl on a visit to a shelter for street children in Moscow.

The big-hearted star and Unicef special representative took time out from the latest leg of his European tour to make the visit.

Robbie made friends with three-year-old Sabrina, who is living in the shelter because her alcoholic mother cannot look after her.

Robbie also met children living rough on Moscow's streets during the freezing winter months and was shocked by what he saw.

"It's a real eye-opener seeing how kids like this have to live especially when it's so cold during the winter," he said.

"Luckily there are places like the Unicef-supported shelter where kids can come if they have nowhere else to go.

"It's a place full of fun and laughter and I feel really privileged to have spent some time with these kids." Robbie visited the shelter as part of Unicef UK's End Child Exploitation campaign.
