“Robbie then gave me a kiss on the cheek. You know I now can't wash my cheek as all women want a kiss on the same spot he kissed me,” he added. "Robbie really didn't realise I was not the real thing. I was chatting with his wife Ayda who also speaks Turkish.”
“She was really nice. Both Robbie's dad and Ayda took their phones and snapped pics of us together. I never thought such a world famous star would fall for my double act,” he said. “It is sensational. It all happened so quickly. I will never forget that day!"
