Robbie Williams is obsessed with board games.

The 'Candy' singer - who has previously battled drug addiction - admits his life is much quieter these days and he is excited about taking his new baby daughter, Theodora Rose, toy shopping.

He said: 'Fun these days is a bag of Minstrels and a game of Uno. I love Yahtsee, I like Balderdash and I'm a Trivial Pursuit guy. I can't wait to take the kid to Hamleys.'

Robbie - whose wife Ayda Field gave birth to Theodora on Tuesday (18.09.12) - admits he is easily content these days.

He is quoted by the Daily Mirror newspaper as saying: 'All I need wherever I am is Wi-Fi, the sports channels and some chocolate.'

Meanwhile, the 38-year-old pop star dedicated his hit single 'Angels' to a seven-year-old boy who died four years ago when he learned his mother was in the audience.

Friends of Mel Hall - whose little boy Matthew passed away from rare nervous system disorder Batten Disease - had tweeted Robbie to tell her she was attending his show in Southend, Essex, South East England, last Sunday (16.09.12).

He said from the stage: 'Is he your son? Oh bless you, what a beautiful little boy. God bless you mummy, this one is for your son.'

Mel later praised the singer's 'very sincere' tribute to her son.

She said: 'Robbie was very sweet and very sincere. It was very poignant. Matthew was such a special little boy. We had to come to terms with having a child who wasn't going to live very long.'
