The 41-year-old Take That star said he lied to get out of a parents' evening because the idea of meeting strangers scared him, reported Daily Mirror.
"I don't like that many people. It's rare I get into the room and go, 'Yeah, I like that person and that person,' out of 5,000 people, let alone being thrown into a room full of parents. That scares me. There was a parent evening for the nursery Teddy goes to and it filled me full of fear," Williams said.
"It was either take a Valium and go or pretend I've got to be in the studio... And that gets me out of everything. So I pretended I was in the studio. What are we going to talk about? Teddy isn't even three. I don't know what we were supposed to talk about," he said.
