Robbie wears a corset to keep in shape

New Delhi: Robbie Williams has reportedly taken to jogging in a corset to keep in shape.

The Sun tabloid says Robbie has had two hi-tech Vacunaut devices installed at both his LA mansion and his West London pad.

The Vacunaut is an airtight suit that sucks the air in and out of 122 pressure chambers around your abdominal and hip areas.

His exercise routine involves putting on the airtight suit, then strapping on the corset, complete with a suction hose, and jogging on a treadmill.

Zeenat Shah, whose company sells the contraption, claims the singer regularly uses the equipment.

She said, "Robbie religiouly follows his exercise programme - three times a week for 40 minutes. So I wouldn't say we're the only reason Robbie looks the way he does, but we do contribute a bit."

Chris Heath, the author of Robbie's biography, Feel, says the Stoke-born star 'swears by' the device.

In the book Heath has written that on "most days Robbie appears in his vaccum suit, like an eccentric spaceman, asking to be zipped up or unzipped."
