'Sod him!': Melanie C didn't tell ex Robbie Williams he's in her new book - PerthNow

But she confessed she didn’t feel the need to let Williams, who starred during the AFL’s grand final entertainment in Melbourne on Saturday, he was in the book because of the way the former Take That star has “behaved over the years”.

The 48-year-old star - who has daughter Scarlet, 13, with ex Thomas Starr - is said to have split with her boyfriend of seven years Joe Marshall last month.

But a music industry source said in August: “Mel has an incredibly busy career between her book deal, DJ’ing and other plans.

Leaving her dad was hard but I wasn’t happy and she wasn’t happy, and it wasn’t the environment I wanted my child to grow up in.”
