Outrage as former drug addict Robbie Williams launches online poker site
By Lucy Buckland

He is no Angel, but former drug addict Robbie Williams has enraged fans once again by launching an online poker site.

Anti-gambling campaigners also slated the Take That singer for launching the website claiming the 37-year-old would be raking in the cash from vulnerable addicts.

The site, which is set to launch this year, claims the main focus is having 'fun' but some of the games do cost money.

Liberal Democrat MP Tessa Munt said it was disgraceful the star was making money from addicts - seeing as the singer was once famously addicted to antidepressants.

She told The Daily Mirror: 'I’m outraged by this. It directly targets his fans, including children. The money he makes should go to addiction charities.'

Even his own fans turned against him with one writing on his official website: 'Taking advantage of vulnerable people for financial gain does not sit right with me.'
