A sexual harassment lawsuit against singer Robbie Williams and his actress wife Ayda Field brought by their former personal assistant has been dropped.

The 42-year-old singer-songwriter and Field, 32, were sued by their ex-employee, Gilles De Bonfilhs, over claims that the actress "engaged in unwanted and unwelcome sexual conduct and behaviour" towards him, reported The Telegraph.

A spokesperson for Los Angeles Superior Court said the case had been dismissed after the ex-employee and his lawyer had requested it be dropped on December 22.

The couple previously branded the allegations as "despicable lies" and said they would be "strenuously defended".

They claimed De Bonfilhs was fired after three months for his "total job abandonment and numerous other instances of wrongful conduct", according to court documents.
 

The celebrity couple married in August 2010 and have two children together, daughter Theodora Rose, four, and son, Charlton Valentine, two.
