Lewis Capaldi's wardrobe malfunction hilariously pointed out by his mum

No matter how high you fly, you can always rely on your mother bringing you back down to earth.

This is no different for Scottish singing sensation Lewis Capaldi who was trolled by his mum after she spotted his trousers creating a “mangina” whilst appearing on STV. After the TV appearance, Capaldi took to Twitter to share a snap of a side splitting WhatsApp message that he had received from his old dear.

Mum Carol pointed out that his trouser situation was less than ideal and made sure that her son knew about the wardrobe malfunction. The message to her superstar son ended with a laughing emoji when she wrote: “Watched u on STV. You look as if you’ve got a mangina.”

Lewis replied “Thanks mum x” before sharing the humbling conversation with his followers on Friday 21 evening. The Whitburn wonder also included a snap of his trousers riding up during the interview, and added: “Well that’s just terrific.”

Capaldi fans embraced mum Carol’s message and celebrated her comic ability. Whilst many others also said that they had spotted the awkward trouser mishap, the Daily Record reports.

One Twitter user wrote: “It’s comforting to know even celebrities get humbled by their mothers.”

Another said: “We thought the same when we were watching you on the interview as well. Sorry Lewis but yer maw knows best.” A third commented “your biggest fan and your harshest critic” while a fourth posted: “Well… we shall all thank your mum for pointing this out.”

Others fans thought up new nicknames for the singer including “Lewis Camelpaldi” and “Looselips Capaldi”

Specsavers even got involved and tweeted: “*Removes glasses*.”

The side-splitting tweet has already received over 312,500 likes and more than 16,200 retweets.
