'We are both Libras and both like the same gin – we love Monkey 47. What are the odds?
'We just connect over stupid s**t.'
Shaggy added: 'We love taking long walks together.
'He's super competitive.
'Even if we are on a regular walk, Sting always has to go faster.
'He'll start walk-running.
'He is a brother I never knew I needed.'
On what makes it so fun collaborating, he said: 'On one song we ended up laughing more than working, and I think we both decided we never wanted to stop laughing.

CIARA helped her fans Level Up by surprising them at a dance class.
She taught the group the floating chair move from her tune Ecstasy – and made levitating look like a piece of cake.
It was part of Red Bull's Dance Your Style event, which saw Ciara and choreographer Jamaica Craft putting fans through their paces in Covent Garden, Central London, before her performance at Mighty Hoopla.
We gave this a go in the office and it is just as hard as it looks.

CRUZ BECKHAM is hard at work on his solo music – and he's got a new cheerleader joining him in the studio.
My exclusive snaps show the youngest son of Posh and Becks heading to Shepherds Bush Studios in London with his girlfriend, singer-songwriter Jackie Apostel.
My insiders tell me Cruz has been working for months on his material, with hopes of an official release later this year.
They said: 'Cruz is in the studio most days and Jackie loves to join him when she's around.
'They have a shared passion for music.
'This is a really exciting time for Cruz.
"He's got people supporting him and guiding him, including Luke Pritchard from The Kooks, and the tunes he's coming up with are sounding really great.'
There could be a wait, however, with my mole adding: 'Cruz isn't rushing into releasing anything until what he has done is perfect.'

ROGER SANCHEZ is one of the hardest working DJs in the business.
But he credits the late nights with keeping him looking so young, despite being two years off 60.
Roger told me in an exclusive chat ahead of his next massive residency night at Pacha in Ibiza: 'I actually think the nightlife has kept me younger.
'People always ask, 'Who's your plastic surgeon?'
'I'm like, God, I've never had any work done.
'I drink lots of water.
'I think just being, and staying, healthy and having healthy practices does help you look younger and feel younger, which is actually even more important than looking younger.
'Thankfully, my energy is still at a very high level, and that allows me to keep that youthful appearance.'

Yes, really.
The presenter revealed on air yesterday that the Single Ladies singer attempted to play Cupid backstage at Top Of The Pops in the Nineties when he was interviewing Destiny's Child.
Jamie said: 'Beyonce tried to set me up with Kelly Rowland.
'Destiny's Child were on Top Of The Pops and I was chatting to Beyonce and she said, 'Are you single?'
'I can't remember how it came about and she said, 'Oh, Kelly's single, you two would make a fantastic . . . '
'And I went, 'Oh stop it Beyonce, leave me alone'.'

SABRINA CARPENTER is still using her ex Barry Keoghan as inspiration six months after their split.
The singer wasn't shy about putting the Irish actor in her songs when they were dating, including on racy track Bed Chem.
Sabrina's new song Manchild is out today, and announcing it on Instagram she wrote: 'This one's about you.'
The lyrics include, 'Inside of your head when you've just won an argument with a man.'
I'm sure when we hear the full track, it's going to be pretty punchy.
Sabrina's fans jumped all over the post saying it was about Barry, who was accused of cheating on the US star before their relationship ended.
Both their camps insisted they'd just grown apart when they broke up in December.
NEW Ibiza club UNVRS, backed by Will Smith, has top tech, screens suspended from the ceiling and a life-sized crashed UFO.
But more strangely, there is a DJ and decks set-up in the middle of the toilets.
Guests have told us they wandered about for ages trying to find the loos, which are called the Wild Comet room.
AMANDA HOLDEN says the secret to staying ahead of her rivals after 20 years in showbiz is the ability to adapt.
The Britain's Got Talent judge told us: 'You have to evolve, you have to keep going.
'You can't just say, 'It's not great or it's not this'.
'Embrace it, learn all about it and go with it.
'Then you have a wider reach.'

'I went to Benidorm and was floored after noticing detail about bar'
A woman who went to Benidorm decided to test out its nightlife with her mum and sisters, and said she had the 'best time' at a legendary club after noticing one detail A woman was so taken aback by the bustling nightlife of Benidorm during a family trip that she took to social media to share her surprise afterwards. Ebony Crawford posted a TikTok video from her night out at the Spanish city's Insomnia nightclub, expressing her astonishment at how crowded the club was - even at 5am. "The best time in Benidorm, 5am in Insomnia," she captioned her post, highlighting the vibrant party scene. The footage showed the venue brimming with partygoers dancing to the latest hits. Ebony continued to share her Spanish escapade in Alicante with another video, where she reiterated she'd had the "best time ever" with her mum and sisters. Ebony also treated followers to a tour of the Hotel Gold Arcos - where she was staying - including its culinary offerings, which included classic British fare alongside traditional continental dishes. She also shared a peek at her room, boasting a breath-taking view of the sea and nearby tourist attractions. One TikTok user reminisced about their stay at the same hotel: "Amazing hotel, stayed there last October," Another concurred, commenting: "Its such a beautiful hotel isnt it Ebs." In a much more cautionary tale, another Brit holidaying in Benidorm - known as @harrytokky on TikTok - warned fellow travellers about potential "fake taxis" in the area. Harry said these could be "random strangers' cars" and by getting into them, you run the risk of not reaching your desired destination safely. In his video, he said that "in Benidorm there's only one type of taxi that you should be getting into," and they are "white cars with a blue stripe down the middle". He assured that these are the taxis that will "take you to your destination nice and safe," in contrast to the "fake" ones. Harry advised: "So guys, if you're coming out to Benidorm, they are the only taxis that you should be looking out for, because you don't want to get into some random stranger's car." Elsewhere, holidaying Brits have also been warned about a new "scam" said to be sweeping the region. Businessman Frank the Stag Man, who moved to the Mediterranean coast 13 years ago, said fraudsters have a new trick that you "probably won't be aware of." In a video recorded on the streets of Benidorm, Frank pointed out a number of people holding clipboards approaching passers-by. After turning down the opportunity to fill out a "petition" himself, he explained: "As you've seen there, this is one of the scams that runs along the beachfront." But how does it work? Frank claimed that holidaymakers are asked to sign petitions which, once completed, allow scammers to push their victim into making a donation. His partner interjected, stating: "They'll say it's for the blind or the disabled and that they are petitioning to get something sorted here in Spain." However, she slammed: "It's full of a load of rubbish and illegal to do this here in Spain." Frank added: "They're illegal, scamming, and they will take your money. Some people even get their wallets out and give them a few quid."

Liam Gallagher's ex wife Patsy Kensit reveals if she will be going to see Oasis tonight as reunion tour kicks off
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LIAM Gallagher's ex wife Patsy Kensit has revealed if she will be going to see Oasis tonight, as the reunion tour kicks off. The former couple were married for three years from 1997 until 2000, and during that time welcomed their son Lennon. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 7 Patsy Kensit has revealed if she will going to see Oasis Credit: ITV 7 Liam and Patsy were married during the late 90s Credit: Getty 7 The former couple share son Lennon together Credit: Splash 7 Liam and Noel kick off their Oasis comeback tour TODAY Credit: PA As Oasis legends Liam and Noel Gallagher get ready to return to the stage later today, fans may be wondering if Patsy will be going. Asked on Good Morning Britain today, the EastEnders star said: "My son. He'll be there. You have a lovely time. wait for him to see all of that and I'm happy for you. "I think it's a wonderful thing, but I Won't be attending. I think I've said enough now about about about that. "I send only love and light." INTENSE ROMANCE Liam and Patsy, who met on a plane in 1995, had a very intense relationship. The actress once described this to The Mirror, and said: "We just clicked on every level. He was protective and loving. When we were together there were fireworks, and a chemistry that lasted to the end". It's not surprising Patsy isn't going to any Oasis concert on the tour, considering she hasn't spoken to her ex-husband in 25 years. The split from Liam was particularly brutal, with the actress previously admitting how her heart 'broke into a million pieces' when he left. While the Oasis rocker moved on unscathed, Patsy told The Sun last year that she was "abandoned by the in-crowd" and the people she thought were her friends. Noel and Liam Gallagher seen together for first time since announcing Oasis reunion 'I had lots of 'fancy' friends in the '90s – everyone wanted you to be hanging out with them, but I lost all of them when my relationship ended,' she said 'I hate 'phoneyism' and I was ditched by the whole community overnight – every one of them. 'I don't hold on to the disappointment, but it was disappointing because I was still very young and I had two children on my own. 'But I feel very lucky to have friends in my life who have always been there since I was 16 – my real friends. 7 Patsy and Liam had a very intense relationship Credit: Sotheby's 7 Their romance dominated the headlines in the 90s Credit: Rex 'Women I can tell anything to and know it will never go any further. 'That wasn't true in the '90s.' Patsy also previously revealed how she cried "every day for three and a half years" during her relationship. PROUD MAMA However her time with Liam wasn't all doom and gloom as together they welcomed her beloved son, Lennon. Patsy couldn't prouder of her boy, who is forging a career as a musician and model. Lennon moved back in with his mum last year, and the actress told The Sun that they are incredible close, and even share clothes. 7 Liam and his brother Noel shot to fame in the 90s Credit: Getty "He raids my wardrobe, too. Quite a few items have ended up in his room – jackets, scarves, shirts, a whole plethora of things," she laughed. 'Lennon's sense of fashion is something he had from a very young age. 'He was doing an interview the other day and he was asked where he got his style from and he said: 'My mum', which I was thrilled about! 'He started modelling when he was 15 when [stylist and fashion editor] Katie Grand, who is one of my oldest friends, suggested doing a shoot, then it just really took off.' Lennon has since modelled in campaigns for Burberry and Saint Laurent and is also in a band, while James is an artistic director who has worked with the Arctic Monkeys. SUPPORTING DAD Tonight, Lennon will watch his dad perform in Oasis, for the first time as adult. Speaking to this month's W Magazine, Lennon said: "I can't wait… It's a massive, monumental thing, it's going to be fantastic." He also revealed how, along with Noel's daughter Anais, he will attend every Oasis gig. Meanwhile, Oasis fans lucky enough to bag at ticket to tonight's first gig of the tour are in for a treat. It was revealed that Liam and Noel have already been rehearsing at Cardiff's Principality Stadium, ahead of this evening's concert. A source told the Mail: "Rehearsals started on Monday, just the tech and band. "Liam and Noel arrived on Wednesday, but Liam left the rehearsals after just eight songs for Noel to carry on by himself."

Sophia Hutchins told Caitlyn Jenner she loved her in one of final posts weeks before she was killed in horror ATV crash
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SOPHIA Hutchins told Caitlyn Jenner she loved her - just weeks before she was killed in a horror ATV crash. Jenner's manager Hutchins, 29, was on an ATV when she collided into a car before plunging 350 feet down a ravine on Wednesday. 5 Sophia Hutchins and Caitlyn Jenner had an extremely close friendship over the past decade Credit: Getty Images - Getty 5 Hutchins made the comment as she responded to a post Jenner shared from Israel Credit: Instagram 5 Hutchins paid the touching tribute underneath Jenner's post from June 13 Credit: Instagram The crash happened near Jenner's plush $3.5 million Malibu home but it's not known if she was at home at the time of the accident. Hutchins and Jenner had a close friendship over the past decade, and rumors swirled that they were dating. Jenner was recently in Israel and shared a picture of herself praying in Jerusalem. 'Love you,' Hutchins replied in the comments section of the post. Jenner shared her post on June 13 - just weeks before Hutchins' accident. Hutchins and Jenner had debunked rumors they were dating in recent years. They first met in 2015 and Hutchins revealed how they were very similar. "We have so much in common; we see the world so similarly and we both are such a good match for each because we challenge each other,' she told Jim Breslo, the host of The Hidden Truth. Hutchins, who is also transgender, paid tribute to Jenner, saying that she challenged her in different ways. The entrepreneur revealed Jenner was an inspiration when she was coming out. Hutchins, an economic and finance graduate, revealed she watched the interview when Jenner came out as transgender in 2015. At the time, Hutchins recalled how it made the process feel "more real," as reported by The Pepperdine University Graphic. In 2019, Hutchins spoke out about how she felt more comfortable once she had transitioned. "Before I transitioned, I felt like 'Yeah I'm definitely just a girl, but in the wrong body," she said. She admitted that she felt trapped. Hutchins and Jenner's relationship grew tighter, which fueled speculation about a romance. 'I am only ever with men and only ever have been. Stop the rumors! It's been years," she posted on social media. Hutchins also described Jenner as like a parent. She said their relationship had never been a sexual one. "It was very much friends but I understand why people perceived that way," she told People in 2021. "It's more parental. It's very parental, very protective." In the final Instagram post shared on her account, Hutchins spoke about healing. She shared pictures of herself fixing a broken candelabra. One of the snaps showed a broken branched candlestick, while the second picture showed it fixed. "From a headless cherub, missing one leg, arm and foot, to a healing cherub. "You can officially call me surgeon, Dr. Hutchins." Social media users have started to pay tribute underneath that post. 5 Hutchins spoke candidly about her transition - saying she had previously felt 'trapped' Credit: Instagram
