Robbie Williams is being paid £10million to appear on this year's X Factor - but he wants a pay rise.

The former Take That star admitted he and his wife Ayda Field, who is also a judge on this year's panel, would only return to the show next year if they were paid more than their current hefty salaries.

He told The Sun, "We would love to come back. But we need to be treated kindly, so we'll see. Is that my pitch for a pay rise? Abso-f**king-lutely."

Robbie also claimed that the show bosses had got their "money’s worth" from the pair - especially as his appearance will see him perform with the contestants this week.

But despite the singer's demands, he admitted he'd enjoyed his time on the show and revealed his dreams of his very own TV show.

“Honestly, The X Factor has been my favourite thing that I’ve done in showbiz and a welcome break from the thing that I’ve been doing for the last 30 years," he gushed.

“I’ve always dreamed of having my own TV show. I want to do something like the Morecambe and Wise Show meets the Dean Martin Show meets Noel’s House Party.

“I’m in with all the TV bigwigs now. And they appear to be happy with me."
