Lewis Capaldi leaves Sky Sports reporter gobsmacked with 'crass' darts comment

Lewis Capaldi brought an element of chaos and a touch of sexual energy to the darts on Friday night when he made a surprise appearance at Alexander Palace.

The 26-year-old Scottish singer was among the crowd at the high adrenaline sport in London where he took part in a nine-dart challenge of his own.

Lewis succeeded in his own challenge - much to the delight of the crowd who were even more enamoured when he whipped off his jumper and threw it into the crowd.

Following his success, the Someone You Loved singer was interviewed by Sky Sports presenter Ashleigh Wilmot, with conversation swiftly taking an unexpected turn.

Asked how he felt about being among the crowd, Lewis joked: “I stink of B.O. But I don’t imagine I’m the only person here that stinks of B.O. I’m blending in quite well.”

Ashleigh then probed him over his involvement in the sport, and Lewis stated: "It's great fun.

"Lots of camaraderie, lots of smiles, lots of high fives. It's electric in here."

Ashleigh then said: “You just did your own walk on, how was that?”

Lewis replied: "It was everything I hoped it would be and more.”

He then teased: “And if I can be quite honest with you without being crass... It's the most fun I've had this year with my trousers on."

The flustered presenter then gasped: “Well, we’ll definitely take that.

However, she then did point out: “Actually, you did take a bit of clothing off?”

Addressing the moment he had whipped off his jumper, Lewis said: “I got caught up in the moment and I had to disrobe, throw it to the crowd. I was just feeding off the energy. It was exceptional.”

Lewis’s moment in the spotlight thrilled his fans with many taking to social media to comment on his appearance a the darts competition.

One Twitter user remarked: “@LewisCapaldi you are class.”

While another commented: “What a genuinely hilarious fella.”

Lewis was not the only celebrity taking in the action at Alexandra Palace on Friday night as former One Direction star Niall Horan was also in the crowd.

The 29-year-old What Makes You Beautiful singer inexplicably locked lips with Lewis as they crossed paths at the sporting event.

Taking in the scene of Lewis and Niall getting friendly, Sky commentator Wayne Mardle remarked: “There are scenes of Colin Lloyd,”.
