West Lothian superstar Lewis Capaldi tells Jimmy Fallon about 'terrifying' ordeal
The artist took a two-year break from the industry to focus on his mental health before returning to the stage at one of the worlds biggest greenfield festivals in a shock performance of his new single Survive.
Now he's spoken about how "terrifying" it was for him on the US chat show host's couch.

The 28-year-old said: "A lot of emotions. It was terrifying. In the lead up to it I was like, 'this is horrific. I've made a terrible decision.' Then we did it and it was really beautiful and lovely and it went exactly as how I hoped. And it was probably the best day of my life."
He was met with roaring cheers from the American audience before joking: "I assume when I have a child, I'll be like 'well, maybe Glastonbury was still better."
In the wake of his return his new song has hit number one and the West Lothian lad has also announced a new tour which sold out in seconds.
Lewis's tour kicks off in Sheffield on September 6, with dates planned for Aberdeen, Glasgow, London, Manchester, Birmingham, Nottingham, Cardiff, and Dublin.
Sharing a post to his Instagram when tickets sold out, Capaldi said: "One second past 9am and you've got every single ticket in the baskets.
"Genuinely blows my mind to be saying this but adding new dates right now that'll go on sale in a minute, will be on the same link so keep checking! X"
Seven new shows were then added to the tour, including an extra date in Sheffield, Aberdeen, Glasgow, London, Manchester, Birmingham and Dublin.

James Gunn Says He's 'Very Involved' in DCU's THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD – Script in the Works — GeekTyrant
While most DC fans have been waiting for Matt Reeves' The Batman: Part II , whihc is still a few years out, there's another Batman movie in development with The Brave and the Bold , the DCU's own take on the Dark Knight. James Gunn, who's been busy shaping the future of the DCU and launching it with Superman , recently gave a small but reassuring update about the Batman project during a conversation in London. 'There's really no new updates,' Gunn said when asked about The Brave and the Bold. 'I mean, we're working on a script. We have a screenwriter who's hammering away at it. I'm very involved, and so, you know, we'll see what happens next. I wish I had more news for you, but I don't.' It's not much, but at least it's in active development, with Gunn keeping a close eye on the direction. Interestingly, he also shared that he has Reeves' The Batman: Part II script on hand: 'But luckily, I've got The Batman 2 script in my backpack, and I'm about to read it.' Two very different Batman films. Two different universes. And both of them are being nurtured with care. One is a gritty noir-driven sequel continuing Pattinson's journey, and the other, The Brave and the Bold , is expected to introduce a new Batman alongside his son Damian Wayne, all set within Gunn and Safran's broader DCU reboot. While concrete details are still under wraps, it's clear Gunn is deep in the Batcave on this one. Source: GamesRadar+

'Too Much' London And Brooklyn Filming Locations: The Restaurants, Pubs And Areas You Can Actually Visit
Lena Dunham's latest rom-com offering, Too Much, has a lot going on; from leads Jess (Megan Stalter) and Felix's (Will Sharpe) messy love affair, her toxic relationship with her ex's new fiancé (ELLE UK's cover star, Emily Ratajkowski) a bursting-at-the-seams celebrity cameo list (Jessica Alba, Andrew Scott, Kit Harington, Alix Earle and more). While you may have found yourself wrapped up in the drama of it all, one of the show's main components is its many locations. As the series sees Jess move to London, the city takes centre stage, with many well-known boroughs, pubs and restaurants featuring throughout the series. Below, we detail all of the exact filming locations seen throughout the 10-part series. At the beginning of the series, Jess's expectations of London and where she'll be living almost immediately falter when she quickly realises that she'll be living in a housing estate rather than a large aristocratic countryside home. The interior and exterior for her flat was filmed in a flat on St Peter's Estate in Hackney. Shoreditch's town hall doubled as the location for Jess's visit to the hospital after accidentally setting herself on fire and the vet where her dog Astrid was treated. After facing disappointment due to the reality of her less-than-glamorous living situation and surroundings in London, a level of hope is restored for Jess in the eighth episode when she accompanies Felix and his friends to a wedding at a country house estate. The wedding was filmed at Englefield Estate in west Berkshire. Throughout the series, observant restaurant-goers will have noticed that the show features a number of restaurants based in and outside of London. Frizzante at Hackney City Farm, The Ivy House in Nunhead and The Ivy Richmond Brasserie all make appearances. While searching for a location to film the agency's Christmas ad, Jess and her co-workers find themselves in the scenic village of Hambleden, Buckinghamshire, along with Andrew Scott's pompous director. While at a pub called The Royal Standard in Beaconsfield, Jess has an awkward drink with Scott's director. Once again, Jess finds a moment to escape the realities of London and takes a trip to Notting Hill to see the area where the titular movie was filmed. In one scene, Jess poses outside 280 Westbourne Park Road as Felix takes a picture of her. On two occasions, we see Felix play gigs alongside his band: one in a flashback and the latter in present day. The former takes place at a record and book shop called Dash The Henge in Camberwell. The venue was inspired by Lena's husband, Felix, who has previously played several gigs there in the past. Felix's second gig in the series takes place at the fictional Hackney 'DonkeyFest', which actually takes place at Hackney City Farm. He plays with his band as Jess and the Pollys (three of Felix's close female friends) look on and get to know Jess. During a flashback, we see Jess's awkward run in with her ex-boyfriend Zev and his new fiancé, Wendy. The encounter takes place at Cuppa Hive Coffee, Brooklyn. After many privately recorded video messages to Wendy later, Jess finally meets her Zev's new fiancé in the final episode. The pair meet for a coffee, at a family-owned restaurant called Chambers, near Victoria Park. As another flashback takes place, we see how Jess and her then boyfriend Zev came to be. The pair first met at Alligator Lounge in Brooklyn, a well-known bar where guests can buy budget friendly drinks alongside free pizza.
