Lewis Capaldi to host Classic FM radio show in bid to help students revise for exams

Lewis Capaldi offers to be 'face of Tennent's' in hilarious radio interview has added another string to his bow by landing a show on a classical music radio station.

The Scottish star will host a Classic FM programme aimed at helping students to revise for their exams.

The 22-year-old, who spent seven weeks at the top of the UK chart with Someone You Loved, will play pieces from Mozart to Beethoven.

He will also talk about the challenges students face in the run-up to exams.

The singer-songwriter, from Bathgate, West Lothian, said: “I’m absolutely buzzing to be hosting a revision show for Classic FM.

“Definitely could’ve used some advice like this a couple of years back when I was doing my exams.

“Anyone tuning into the show can expect lots of lovely sensual classical music delivered by my extremely handsome dulcet tones, with some tips from people far more qualified than me, which isn’t difficult.”

The eight-part weekly series coincides with exam season and will air on Saturday nights.

The music has been chosen to help students concentrate.

Other presenters include Bastille singer Dan Smith, 32, and Strictly Come Dancing contestant Vick Hope, 29.

The station’s audience of 16 to 25-year-olds increases by 50 per cent at this time of year.

Classic FM chief Sam Jackson said: “Students tell us that classical music helps them concentrate during revision and keeps them more relaxed.”

The world of classical music has some inspiration for last-minute crammers.

Mozart’s Don Giovanni Overture was written the night before its premiere.
