Hilarious: Lewis Capaldi, 23, left fans in hysterics on Tuesday night's Brit Awards when he revealed to the audience the true inspiration behind the hit song Some You Love
'Contrary to popular belief, a lot of people think this song is about my ex girlfriend who you can now see every night on Love Island.
'But it is actually about my grandmother who has sadly passed away a few years ago'
He then cheekily added: 'And I hope to god ITV don't contact her to go on a reality TV show.'
The star ended his bizarre acceptance speech saying: 'And thanks for my grandmother for dying!'
What a joker: He said: 'Thanks very much for this contrary to popular belief, a lot of people think this song is about my ex girlfriend who you can now see every night on Love Island'
The news will be an awkward revelation for Paige after she referenced the song during her audition video for Love Island.
She confidently declared before entering the villa in January: 'I'm Paige, I'm 22 and a singer from West Lothian. I'd describe myself as loud and flamboyant.
'One of my ex boyfriends is Lewis Capaldi. According to the papers his song Someone You Loved was about me.
Confirmation: He added 'But it is actually about my grandmother who has sadly passed away a few years ago'
'Lewis, I'm so sorry I must have been a b***h to you.'
Earlier in the evening Lewis won his first award for Best New Artist however this time his speech left fans equal parts baffled and amused as his whole speech was muted.
This promoted thousands of tweets questioning what he had said.
One fan commented: 'not going to sleep tonight until I find out what Lewis Capaldi just got muted for saying.'

Another added: 'Actually raging that Lewis capaldi’s speech was muted'
While one praised the singer saying: 'Lewis Capaldi downing a bottle of Red Stripe live on stage and getting his entire acceptance speech for Best New Artist muted is exactly what I needed to see.'
The reasoning for the heavily muted speech was indeed because the Bruises singer had simply said : 'Thank you very f*****g much, see you later.'
