LEW’S KEEPING HIS POSE CLEAN ... JUST ABOUT

LEWIS CAPALDI might have been snubbed for three gongs at Sunday’s American Music Awards but he made sure he was the winner of the best red carpet pose.

While the likes of Cara Delevingne and new couple Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly pouted down the barrel of the lens, the Scottish singer cut some different shapes as he arrived at Los Angeles’s Microsoft Theater in high spirits.

But the 24-year-old’s joy slipped away as he watched rivals win silverware in the new artist, favourite artist and favourite pop/rock song categories, which his track

Someone You Loved was nominated for.

Before arriving at his first showbiz bash post lockdown, Lew blamed ‘idle hands’ as he revealed he piled on a stone while living with his parents.

‘I’ve put on 14lb. I’ve put on love handles. It’s fine,’ he spilled recently.

Rival Dua Lipa pipped him to the best song gong for track Don’t Start Now and Harry Styles flew the flag for Britain as record Fine Line scooped the best album prize.

Taylor Swift was named artist of the year and three-time AMA winner Justin Bieber debuted new song Monster – a duet with Shawn Mendes.
