STUNNED Robbie Williams revealed he was groped by a fan while performing to a sold out 65,000-strong crowd.
The pop star, 50, put on a masterclass at BST Hyde Park, London, on Saturday with a career-spanning set.

While Robbie described the concert as “absolutely sensational” and one of his “favourite shows ever”, there was an unexpected surprise part-way through.
Showing off his toned tattooed arms in a white vest and wearing baggy matching trousers, the singer revealed how an audience member got a bit handsy with his privates.
Speaking from the stage runway, he said: “It’s not like the 90s. It’s very mumsy over here.
“One of them checked my temperature, one of them supported my back, but whoever that was over there is a magician because, I am not kidding you, this actually happened, somebody got their fingers like this [make pinching motion] and went right on my b***end.
“I’m not kidding you, that happened. They zoned in and went boom, like that. Thank you, you made an old man happy.”
Early on in the show, which was a celebration of his 25 year solo career, Robbie told the crowd he’d be vulnerable, sharing the “highest highs and lowest lows”.
The singer recounted his growing upset with Gary Barlow “singing all the songs” in his Take That years which fuelled his desire to break free from the group and experience the limelight himself.
After revealing how he partied with Oasis at Glastonbury in the mid 90s, Robbie sang a rendition of the band’s hit Don’t Look Back in Anger.
He was joined on stage by his good friend and Supergrass frontman Gaz Coombes for a version of that band’s anthem Alright, and they were backed by a vibrant backdrop celebrating the British seaside.
Ex-EastEnders star Danny Dyer, who watched England’s Euros win backstage with Robbie before the gig, stepped into Phil Daniels shoes for Park Life, with the Coldstream Guards providing some added pomp to Blur’s Britpop classic.

Robbie then performed Take That song Back For Good, and went on to get the crowd to cheer for each of his former bandmates – Gary, Mark Owen, Howard Donald and Jason Orange – proving any animosity has long since died.
There were tear-jerking scenes when Robbie paid tribute to his wife Ayda Field and four kids – Teddy, 11, Charlie, 9, Coco, 5 and Beau, 3 – before singing I Love My Life as they watched on from an exclusive turret in the golden circle.
And another emotional moment came in the encore when Robbie laid bare his battle with self doubt, anxiety and addiction during the height of his fame, before leading into set closer Angels.
His family joined him on stage for the finale and they embraced in front of the huge sparkling screens as golden fireworks were launched into the sky from behind the stage.
Hoarse from a non-stop 20 song singalong, fans had just enough voice left to belt out Dirty Dancing anthem The Time of My Life as it fittingly fizzed out of the speakers as they left the park.
