Take That star Robbie Williams's house in Los Angeles is haunted by a ghost, according to reports.

The singer, who recently reunited with the group for a new album and tour, has apparently named the ghost Bertie.

A source told The Sun: "The dogs can see it. Its nickname is Bertie. They believe it's a man from the beginning of the 20th Century.”

It is not the first time Williams has been linked to visitors from another world.

In 2008, the singer revealed that he was fascinated by UFOs and claimed that one once visited his recording studio. He also co-hosted a radio documentary about the UFO phenomenon.
