Lewis Capaldi stunned passengers on a flight to Los Angeles by serving them up drinks - and an impromptu performance of his new single.
The West Lothian chart-topper took on the role of British Airways cabin crew as he dished out refreshments to the star-struck flyers, including four unsuspecting superfans who had been specially invited on board.
But it turns out Lewis, 26, is unlikely to give up his rather lucrative day job anytime soon, as could be seen when he asked a guest whether he could have some of their Pringles because he was feeling "absolutely ravenous".
Handing out drinks from the trolley, Lewis, who recently attended the Glasgow premiere for his Netflix documentary How I'm Feeling Now, declared: "I feel like I'm not doing anything. Just standing and looking pretty." He added: "I'm going to sing a song now, I apologise everybody. Someone's sleeping."
Whipping out his guitar on the London Heathrow to LA flight, Lewis performed his new single Wish You The Best at 35,000ft, to the delight of the gobsmacked passengers. The Scots star serenaded customers with a snippet of the unreleased track that will feature on his highly anticipated second album, Broken By Desire To Be Heavenly Sent, due to hit shelves in May.
After performing his new single, Lewis said over the applause: "I'm sorry for disturbing your flight. If anyone is not aware, my name is Ed Sheeran."
Rowan and Georgie Gupwell, sisters and superfans of Lewis Capaldi from Glasgow, said: “This was the most amazing surprise. We’ve been huge fans of Lewis since Bruises in 2017.
“We have tickets to see him live later this year, so to meet him up close yesterday was a moment we’ll cherish forever, and we can’t wait to see the new song live again in concert!”
Nicola Barker, British Airways colleague and superfan of Lewis, added: “What a ‘pinch-me’ moment it was to watch Lewis perform with his guitar during the flight - not only did he sing, he served me a great a G&T too!”
Lewis shared the video from his surprise appearance on the flight to Instagram, leaving fans pointing out one fatal error with his performance. "Not enough air hostess uniform imo," said one fan.
Another added: "WHERE IS THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT UNIFORM LEWIS," while a third agreed: "This is incredible, would’ve been even better if you wore the whole air hostess attire."
The Scots singer recently told fans that they should buy Ed Sheeran's album instead of his own during an appearance on This Morning. Lewis chatted to hosts Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary and left the pair in stitches with his self deprecating jibes at his career.
Alison asked the Someone You Loved singer how he would promote his new album to the viewers, and Lewis' response did not disappoint ITV viewers. He quipped: "Is there a camera I can look into? Don't waste your time. It's a complete and utter joke that I've been allowed to make a second one.
"If anything, and I didn't think this was possible - I've gotten worse! So don't bother yourself with it. Go buy Ed Sheeran's latest offering instead."
Lewis Capaldi's Netflix documentary How I'm Feeling Now will be available to stream on Netflix on April 5, 2023.
