Lewis Capaldi was close to tears as he performed on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury on Friday (27 June), following a two-year career hiatus. The Scottish singer addressed adoring fans at Worthy Farm, telling them 'it's so good to be back', and that if he says anymore, he'll 'probably start crying'. He added that he wants to 'come and finish what I couldn't the first time round on this stage', referring to his performance in 2023 where he struggled to manage his Tourettes symptoms on stage.

Lorraine Kelly ‘terrified' after climbing up 25-ft ship in Dundee following keyhole surgery
Watch as Lorraine Kelly admits she was "terrified" after abseiling down the mast of a 25-metre mast on Friday (27 June), just weeks after the star's keyhole surgery. The TV presenter scaled up and down the RRS Discovery ship, a vessel that previously ventured to Antarctica, with fellow presenter Dan Snow in Dundee. Feet firmly back on the ground, Kelly said: 'The experience in general was absolutely terrifying. I'm not good with heights so it was scary, I was shaking like a leaf.' Last month, the 65-year-old presenter underwent keyhole surgery to remove her fallopian tubes and ovaries, a procedure Kelly described as 'purely preventive'.
