Robbie Keane has been banned from posing for pictures with fans in nightclubs, the Diary can exclusively reveal.

The Irish captain and Tottenham ace took to the tiles in a top celebrity hangout with his yummy-mummy wife Claudine on Saturday night.

However, the Spurs captain was flanked by a burly minder appointed by the London football club.

And his job is to prevent eager young models getting pictured with the Tallaght-born striker, who recently became a first-time dad with the birth of his baby boy, also called Robbie.

Scuttled

When Keane was approached by one pretty blonde and asked to pose for a picture, the bodyguard stepped in to prevent the photograph being taken.

And as the sports star scuttled back to his private table to join Claudine and her mum Joan, the security guard explained his new detail.

"I'm sorry but he can't take any pictures with anyone, that's just the way it is at the moment and it is the football club's decision," he said.

"He gets in trouble if he is pictured in nightclubs with people and they end up on the internet."

Earlier in the evening, Robbie and his wife rocked out with 75,000 fans at the Take That extravaganza in Croke Park -- where he again declined to pose for photos.

And while he later quaffed champagne with fellow footie stars Paul McShane and Daryl Murphy in Krystle, Rosanna Davison sent tongues wagging by cosying up to ex-boyfriend Wes Quirke.

The former Miss World had spent the night at a house party with her coterie of pals in the Quirkes' impressive south Dublin mansion before heading to Krystle.

Also enjoying a night out was X Factor judge Louis Walsh and property guru John McGuire.

Parties

However, the four lads from Take That decided not to Shine in the spotlight -- and snubbed the two after-show parties laid on for them.

After playing the gig of the decade at Croke Park, band members Gary, Mark, Howard and Jason opted for a quiet night in with family and friends at the Merrion Hotel.

The quartet had laid on a backstage party for 50 guests at GAA headquarters and continued the festivities at their city centre base. However, the amazing show had left the manband feeling their age and they hit the hay rather than the Dublin night life.

A band insider revealed: "Croke Park was the biggest gig Take That have ever played. They were so excited about it that they gave it 110pc. Afterwards, when the adrenaline wore off they were just jaded.

"They were due to go to Lillie's for an after-party in the Library. But they were so tired they just crashed out in the hotel with their pals and went for an early night."

But there was no shortage of familiar faces happy to continue the party in their absence.

Among those spotted enjoying the monster gig in the corporate section were Grainne and Sile Seoige, RTE's Aidan Power with girlfriend Vivienne Bushnell and Keith Barry.

Also there was Tara O'Leary, with 98's Siobhan O'Connor, alongside Andrea Roche and Tara O'Connor, who were ensconced in their own corporate box.
