Exclusive: Robbie Williams says he's not taking his Radio 1 ban to heart – but if the station plays Madonna or Coldplay, he'll march over and 'break their legs'.

The Candy singer was full of spirit as we caught up at his Marmite Oxford Street Christmas Lights gig as he also happily explained the intention behind a new song he features on, singing about penises.
On the Radio 1 row, the 38-year-old resisted rubbing his 14th No.1 in the station's face... kind of.
DJ Nick Grimshaw earlier defended Radio 1's decision to ban Robbie Williams's chart-topping single, Candy, from the playlist, questioning his 'relevance' to the station's target demographic of 15-29.
'I don't know if he's now for a Radio 1 audience,' said Grimmy, who was quick to point out the attack was not personal. 'I've never listened to a Robbie Williams song but I really like him.

'To 13- and 14-year-olds he's not relevant... they've got One Direction. I liked Take That when I was little but I'm not little any more,' the 28-year-old radio jock told Channel 5 News.
After topping the charts Robbie insisted he wasn't looking for revenge, saying: 'It's not really about having the last laugh. Radio 1 goes through the government. The government's given them a remit to appeal to 17- to 24-year-olds, obviously I don't fit in to that and that's OK.
'They've got a job to do and a business to look after and they've always been incredibly supportive of me and for that I thank them very, very much. If they never play a record of mine again, I thank them for the support they have given me and, if they do, then bless them too.'
Rounding off a sarcastic truce, he added: 'Nothing's personal, it's not a vendetta against Robbie Williams but they better not play Coldplay or Madonna or I'll break their legs.'
Turning his attention to his pants after featuring on a Chris Moyles track called I.L.M.P (I Love My Penis), he explained: 'I haven't written a song with Chris Moyles, I've appeared on a song that Chris Moyles has written and it's about enjoying one's penis.'
And in case you were wondering, the married star does that 'by being an admirer of making love to yourself'.
Meanwhile, the singer says he's ready to expand the family already after he and his wife, Ayda Field, recently welcomed daughter Teddy.
He added: 'I do plan to have more kids. I don't but the wife does.'
