Lewis Capaldi 'thought he was dying' amid recent health diagnosis

Lewis Capaldi has opened up about a condition he was recently diagnosed with while chatting to Lorraine Kelly on Tuesday.

The Scottish singer appeared on Lorraine to discuss his new single, Forget Me. He joined the presenter on the sofa, immediately following former Prime Minister Theresa May.

After being introduced, he said: "Me and Theresa May, what a combination." He then spoke about his new song, which he said was inspired by a breakup.

He said: "I'd split up with someone, a lady, and I was looking at her Instagram and she looked too happy for my liking. My blood was boiling, if I'm honest.

"I was like 'You're supposed to be miserable'. I'm over it now though, obviously". Lorraine then asked Mr Capaldi about his recent Tourette's diagnosis.

He explained he was diagnosed seven months ago, and that the condition had left him feeling like he was "dying". He said: "It made a lot of sense, I raise my eyebrows quite a lot. I do this shoulder thing, I take these deep breaths every now and then.

"I thought I was dying, I'm a bit of a hypochondriac. I thought I had some kind of degenerative disease, but I don't. So good news on that front".

Fans were loving Mr Capaldi's appearance on Lorraine, with many taking to social media to commend him. On Twitter, Emma said: "Lewis Capaldi on Lorraine was effing brilliant", while Ben Thompson said: "There was one problem with that interview, it wasn't long enough". Dave said: "Imagine the #Lorraine green room today, Lewis Capaldi and Theresa May chatting".
