Lewis: I’ll be BRITfaced!

LEWIS Capaldi has a lot to celebrate at this year’s awards ceremony despite losing out on the BRITs Critics’ Choice gong to Sam Fender.

Lewis will be partying after single Someone You Loved went to No3 this week.

And his debut album Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent is out on May 17 – so he has every right to have a glass, or three, of champers.

Lewis told me: “My plan is to get s***faced yeah, I will be getting p***ed no matter, I will be p***ed. “But I’ll get p***ed in Europe all the time and no-one bats an eyelid, who knows who I’ll run into though at the BRITs. “I should take it easy but that won’t happen, I’ll get turned up for sure if I’m being honest.

“I mean, it’s been good man, I have gotten further than I ever thought I would get, when I signed my record deal last year I thought I would have been dropped by now so this is all a huge bonus.”

The BRIT nomination has been working wonders for Lewis’ dating game too, having added the title to his Tinder profile recently.

Lewis laughed: “I use the press shots and everything, the one with me, Sam and Mahalia

I’ll be using that one.

“I don’t think I deserve to be mentioned in the breath as Sam and Mahalia but I’ll milk it for all it’s worth until people tell me otherwise.

“For the next year I am making people call me BRITs Critics’ Choice

Lewis Capaldi whether they like it or not – that’s my title.”

Lewis will take his album on tour this November.
