Robbie Williams has become a regular visitor to a casino in Swindon, according to reports.

The singer, who recently moved back to the UK from Los Angeles, is apparently often found in the Premier Club with friend Jonathan Wilkes.

“Robbie has been in frequently over the last few weeks,” a source told The Sun newspaper.

“He plays to a very high standard and has been having fun with Jonathan. He’s getting a reputation as a serious adversary around the poker tables here.”

Williams' love of poker was originally revealed by singer Tom Jones, who said the former Take That star held a poker circle during his time in America.

Williams is believed to have returned to the UK in order to begin work on his new album.

The record, which will be the follow-up to 'Rudebox', is expected before 2010.
