Giant Robot Found Lurking in Wiltshire Woods
2 Aug
Summary
- A 60ft robot from a Take That tour was found in Wiltshire.
- Locals described the mechanical man as 'creepy' and 'spooky'.
- The robot is believed to be a relic from Robbie Williams' former estate.
A massive 60ft robot, which once dominated the stage during a Take That tour approximately 15 years ago, has recently been discovered in the village of Compton Bassett, Wiltshire. This imposing mechanical figure, found "lurking in the trees" near Calne, has caused a stir among local residents and drivers. One resident described the "creepy fella" after initially mistaking it for a Wicker Man.
It is widely believed that the giant robot is a relic from the 2011 Take That Progress Live tour. This extravagant stage setup featured a giant animatronic man nicknamed Om, which stood up to 100ft tall. Following the tour, the robot was reportedly acquired by Robbie Williams, though it appears to have ended up on his former Wiltshire estate instead of his Los Angeles home, becoming a surprising fixture in the local landscape.
