Robbie Williams is so obsessed with the paranormal he begged to be introduced to a ghost-hunter.

The pop heartthrob was in Los Angeles when he spotted Gail Porter and Chris Parker - who are filming a show, 'Dead Famous', about spooky happenings - and dashed over to plead for an introduction to their ghost-hunter subject.

A source told Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "Robbie was in there with Ant and Dec and Jonathan Wilkes. He saw Gail Porter and Chris Parker, and rushed over. They're filming a new series of 'Dead Famous' in LA and Robbie told them he's a huge fan of the show.

"Rob was going on about ghosts. He even spoke about visiting the 'Dead Famous' set."

Ghosts are not Robbie's only strange obsession.

Earlier this year, the star confessed he believes Britain will soon be invaded by aliens.

The singer is convinced the planet is about to be overrun by extra-terrestrials invaders and warned his fans to be prepared for a close encounter of the third kind.

He said at the time: "I've been dreaming every night about UFO's, every night. I can't wait to go to sleep at night because those dreams have been so brilliant.

"I think they are definitely on there way, seriously. Mark my words. From now until 2012 - watch out kids."
