Robbie Williams' dad Pete Conway took to Twitter to share the worrying news that he was rushed to hospital on Monday.

Alongside a photo of himself in the back of an ambulance, Pete wrote: "Yesterday I had a fall and broke a bone in my spine. (Yes, it hurts). And I spent all day today in hospital. I've had better days. Parkinson's is a nuisance."

On Wednesday Pete thanked her followers and gave a quick health update on Twitter, commenting: "Would like to say a huge thank you for the get well soon wishes and also the NHS staff at Royal Stoke hospital (and my ambulance drivers Mick & Chris) very efficient and we are lucky to have them."

Robbie has a close relationship with his father, with Pete often joining his son on stage in the past and even helping him judge contestants on The X Factor, and Pete used to be a regular on Robbie's tours, but admitted in October 2022 that his Parkinson's meant he wasn't able to anymore.

When Robbie performed in Manchester, Pete wrote: "It would appear that Manchester is enjoying having Rob back in town. I would have loved to be there but my mobility is not good."

Pete now relies on a walking frame to get about, with Robbie first speaking of his dad's Parkinson's diagnosis in 2020, when he was worried about being separated from him during the pandemic.
