Lewis Capaldi issues 'apology' after Neil Lennon pulls him up for using his parking space

Lewis Capaldi has revealed he's been pulled up by Neil Lennon after using his parking space.

The pair are neighbours in Glasgow's west end and Lewis, 25, admitted he's used the former Celtic manager's space when he's been unable to find anywhere else to park.

But the football legend hasn't taken the issue lying down, and has left a couple of notes on Lewis' car asking him to stop using his space.

Speaking as he shared some hilarious celebrity encounters with Clyde DJ Garry Spence, the Someone You Loved singer issued a heartfelt apology to the Northern Ireland coach.

Laughing, Lewis said: "I parked in his space a couple of times, and I got notes on my car door. So, if you’re listening Neil, I apologise- just ask me to move it and I’ll move it!”

The star, who dropped new single Forget Me this week, told Garry he is renting a flat in Glasgow at the moment despite buying a sprawling country pad a couple of years back, and it's all down to his pal Ed Sheeran.

Lewis added: "That man is costing me thousands of pounds.”

The Bathgate-born crooner explained that he'd asked for some of Ed's property advice and quickly purchased his dream home soon after.

Lewis said: “I moved in, and it was an absolute tip, I hated it.

“So now, I live in a flat in the west end and I’m renovating that house, and it’s honestly the biggest stress of my life.”

Reflecting on the response he has received during his most recent tour, the Brit Award winning musician was humbled by the continued response to his first album, released in 2019, and expressed his renewed passion for performing.

“I don’t think I’ll ever get used to it,” he said, reflecting on his skyrocket to fame, “I still live in Glasgow, I haven’t jetted off to the Hollywood Hills quite yet, so I think if I don’t think about it all too much, I’m okay.”

Talking on Steven Bartlett’s podcast The Diary of a CEO, Lewis also touched on his struggles with anxiety, he said: “I have really bad anxiety. It never really reached a tipping point until after getting famous, I never had a panic attack until after I was famous, or after I was a musician or after I got to a height.

"The hypochondria, I guess looking back, I was such an anxious kid, but now because I understand it a lot more with therapy and I speak about it a lot more with people and try to learn more about it, I look back at it and think the behaviour was a result of anxiety."

Lewis, who stunned fans in Glasgow last week after taking to the stage at a local open mic night to perform Forget Me, has also revealed he has one big dream still to achieve - selling out Hampden.

But he'd also mark his rocketing levels of success by nabbing the next coveted guest act slot for Coldplay. Discussing Coldplay’s recent Hampden concert in August, Capaldi said: “that’s the goal for this album- to get to the point where I can get invited onto the stage by Coldplay.”
