Suggs is One Skep Beyond

Ella Eyre hair in the air

-

The locks go flying as singersong­writer Ella Eyre throws herself into her performanc­e at V.

Ella, 23, revealed she is smitten with a new man – a manager “who gets my world”.

She said: “It’s a comfortabl­e, relaxed situation. It’s important to have people who ground you and live in a normal world, but he’s a manager so he gets my world too. He’s not an artist so it works well.”

Her new song Ego is about her exes, who she says “are all egotistica­l bankers”. I’ve amended that last word by just one letter. Madness frontman Suggs and grime star Skepta, below, have written a song together. Suggs, above, tells me: “I bumped into Goldie and he said Skepta was a big fan, so we got in the studio and made this song. I’d like to release it. I can relate to grime, I like it.” Madness performed at V and Suggs joined Rudimental on stage. They are also set for The House of Common festival later this month. And Suggs says he still goes on benders, revealing: “One time I lost my phone, my keys, my family, I ended up gatecrashi­ng Primal Scream’s set.” Legend.
