Olympic champion Jessica Ennis has revealed that she turned down the chance to appear in one of Robbie Williams's music videos.

The British singer approached the 26-year-old over starring alongside him in a promo, but the athlete rejected the opportunity in favour of spending time with her family.

"It was straight after the Games when I was due to be going home," Ennis told the London Evening Standard. "It would have been brilliant but it was a mad time and my family were the priority."

Ennis became the face of London 2012 after she won gold in the heptathlon.
