Lewis Capaldi tells fans to 'buy their gran a sea bass for Christmas'

Lewis Capaldi hilariously told fans to "buy their gran a sea bass for Christmas" as he gave his dad's fishmongers a shout-out.

The Scottish singer was back on his Instagram stories providing his followers some much-needed entertainment - and this time he was joking about fish.

The 24-year-old was trying to hype up his dad's business - KP’s Seafood Specialist in Bearsden, near Glasgow - as he urged fans to try out some of the seafood.

He even told fans that a piece of sea bass or halibut would be the perfect Christmas gift this year, as he came up with the unofficial slogan of "fish that isnae pish".

He said: "If people my age are thinking I don't know what to get my grandmother for Chirtsmas.

"Get them a big f*** off sea bass. Get her a sea bass from my dad's shop and say there you go gran. Stick this sea bass right in your neck.

"Be sure to think of me when you've got a mouthful of clams."

He added: "I know what you're thinking. Is Lewis' father using his son to further his own business?

"The answer is yes and if you're thinking that's disgusting, I agree! But the fish is delicious. It's delicious fish.

Lewis tried out a few slogans for his dad's business, with the first being "Mon get your f***king fish the now."

The Someone You Loved finally settled on the perfect strapline and said: "'KP's Seafood Specialist. The fish that isnae pish.' That's pretty good isn't it?"

Lewis previously said if it hadn’t been for music, he could have been selling fish for a living.

But the singer-songwriter admits it would have been soul-destroying – as he can’t stand fish.

Lewis said: “My dad is a fishmonger. He has a fish shop – KP’s Fresh Fish in Bearsden, near  Glasgow  – so I’d probably work there. But I hate the smell of fish and can’t look at prawns.”

Luckily, his debut album, Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent, remained at the top of the UK album chart for six weeks and is currently working on his second album.
