Frontman George Craig explained: 'The last album would probably have been a door mouse maybe. But the new one is like an angry rhino or a horny bull, wanting to blow out everywhere.

't's a different band ' with a new sound and a new drummer, it's at a totally different level. I think the new album is a huge progression and people are going top to be shocked at the sound.'

George ' who is currently dating 'Harry Potter' star Emma Watson ' admitted the video that accompanies new single 'Say You Don't Want It' is 'weird'.

He added to FHM magazine: 'The video's so weird and different that people are like, 'What the f**k is that?' '

Emma ' who appears in the video, which sees the couple turn into dogs ' recently revealed they drew inspiration from Disney classic 'Lady and the Tramp' for the promotional clip.

She said: "It's kind of an ode to 'Lady and the Tramp'. George is Tramp and I'm Lady. George finds me because I'm lost and in a dodgy part of New York. He slowly wins me over and there's a bit of a twist at the end."

Robbie Williams has got married

The 36-year-old singer tied the knot with long-term partner Ayda Field in an intimate ceremony at the couple's Beverly Hills home at 5pm yesterday (07.08.10).

Robbie's delighted father Pete Conway said: 'At last, Rob is happy. That's what you want for your kids and this is the happiest I've seen him. Ayda is so beautiful and so delightful and so lovely and just so right for him. They are brilliant together."

A friend of the couple said: 'The 'save-the-date' cards that went out two weeks ago only said it was a party to celebrate Robbie's 20 years in showbusiness.

't was only in the last few days that news leaked out that it was going to be a wedding. Robbie is the happiest I have ever seen him.

'He says that until Ayda came along he didn't know what it was like to be truly happy. He credits her with teaching him how to learn to laugh and love again.'

According to reports, the 30-minute ceremony was followed by a sit-down dinner and dancing, but it is believed alcohol was banned from the couple's big day at the request of Robbie, who has previously battled alcoholism and drug addiction.

Robbie's father Pete and mum Jan Williams flew out for the ceremony, while the 31-year-old actress' mother also attended, but not her estranged dad.

The singer's best friend Jonathan Wilkes was also a guest at the wedding, but his Take That bandmates ' Gary Barlow, Mark Owen, Jason Orange and Howard Donald ' were not there as they had prior vacation commitments.

She said: 'We've never had one argument and there's absolutely nothing about him that annoys me. He's not impressed by what I do.
