Sunday 2 October 2022 04:21 AM Conman Peter Foster claims unlikely love rivalry with Robbie Williams over ... trends now
Notorious Australian conman Peter Foster has made a wild claim about an alleged love triangle with pop megastar Robbie Williams.
Foster, who is on trial for fraud over allegations he ran a $2billion bitcoin scam, relayed the juicy tale this week about how he fell hard for Danish heiress Caroline Luel-Brockdorff during his infamous stint in London during the '90s.
Coincidentally, he claims, so did Williams with the singer meeting the stunning blonde on a photoshoot in the weeks following his decision to quit boy band Take That.
The battle for Caroline's heart was also just a few months before Foster was imprisoned for fraud over the role he played in a 'slimming tea' scandal - a sentence he cut short after disappearing on prison day release and flying back to Australia on a fake passport.

Foster, who will face court again on October 26 on Bitcoin fraud charges, says the memory of the two unlikely love rivals duelling for the same woman flooded back while he was watching Williams perform at the AFL Grand Final.
'Watching Robbie Williams rock the MCG today as the pre-game entertainment for the AFL grand final, I couldn't help but be dragged down memory lane to 1996, when Robbie Williams and I did battle for the affections of a rare beauty,' Foster began a lengthy post to his Facebook followers.
'Baroness Caroline Luel-Brockdorff was just 23 years of age, blonde, a magnificent young woman and one of Europe's richest socialites and a member of the Danish royal family.
'She grew up in Valdemar's Castle, but when we met she lived in London where she was modelling with great success, her face gracing the covers of the world's most important fashion magazines, Vogue, Elle, Harpers Bazaar, Cosmopolitan … she was seen everywhere.'
