'It's often quite scary but you quickly adapt to that, children do.
'I assumed in a relationship when you loved someone, you shouted basically.
'That's how I communicate, I'm angry, I'm loud and I never thought it was toxic. It was what I assumed you did.'

Scottish gangster linked to Lyons clan hangs out backstage at Oasis gig
Robert Kelbie is a friend of Daniel Kinahan and worked with MTK Global The Scottish criminal posed for photos with Noel Gallagher as well as guitarist, Gem Archer and former Doctor Who actor Matt Smith at a backstage party for the band. Kelbie (41) a convicted fraudster, was snapped wearing an exclusive VIP badge while grinning broadly with the A-listers on his Instagram account. The former convict even uploaded a video of himself at the gig, with the soundtrack of Oasis' hit 'Stay Young' that he captioned '#oasismania what a great night. They're definitely a must see.' Kelbie, of Ratho, Edinburgh has links to Irish crime boss and former promoter through Kinahan's now-defunct MTK management stable. At the height of Kinahan's 'sports washing' PR campaign, he urged major names in the sport to help promote his image which included the heavyweight champ who gave his friend and mentor a social media shout-out. Kelbie, who previously admitted mortgage fraud in 2012, is well-known to Scottish police and has survived three assassination attempts. Matt Smith and Robert Kelbie In July 2023, Tyson Fury was sotted out and about with Kelbie on a whistlestop trip to Edinburgh where they popped into a plush cocktail bar while the fighter posed for pictures with tour bus staff. Fury and hardman Kelbie were even treated to specially-made Gypsy King cocktails featuring the boxer's logo and their faces on the fancy drinks at VIP favourite Tigerlily. Convicted fraudster, Kelbie, who has links to the Lyons crime clan, became pals with Tyson, who has no links to criminality, after allegedly landing a job working with him three years ago. Read more He claimed to have served as director of talent for MTK Global, the boxing promotions firm linked to mobster Kinahan, which advised Fury, former middleweight and super-middleweight champion Billie Joe Saunders (32), and Scottish light-welterweight world title holder Josh Taylor (31). Fury, Saunders and Taylor have no links to crime. MTK Global was put out of business ahead of the Gypsy King's Wembley triumph when he beat Dillian Whyte in April 2022 after US cops put a $5 million bounty on founder Kinahan's head. Kelbie reportedly helped set up a Spanish gym for a boxing firm linked to wanted mob boss Kinahan. Fury and Kelbie (far right) The previous year Kelbie was with Fury when he kicked out at a taxi in an incident caught on camera while they were on holiday in the south of France. Kelbie was seen leaning through the passenger's side window while Fury tried to open the door before it takes off without them. Kelbie later uploaded pictures to his Instagram in the resort town that included footage of the boxer and his dad with pints of Stella at a roadside bar. Kelbie, who has reinvented himself as a boxing promoter, is a sworn enemy of jailed cocaine kingpin Mark Richardson (38) whose associates include members of Glasgow's Daniel Clan, MailOnline reports. Gangsters working for Richardson are believed to have ripped off Dubai-based Ross 'Miami' McGill with £500,000 of fake cash for a cocaine shipment. The Daniel Clan's deadly rivals, Lyons gang have reportedly been giving McGill, a former Rangers football ultras 'capo', information on the Edinburgh-based gangsters as he conducted his campaign of revenge. He is alleged to have ordered knife attacks, shootings and firebombing that sparked a tit-for-tat gangland clash. Back in 2010, Kelbie was shot in the back outside a Bannatyne's Health Club in Edinburgh. In 2013, a hail of bullets were fired at the hood's home at Ratho Station, Edinburgh which he fled 2016. Kelbie has since reinvented himself as a boxing promoter and has previously been pictured in selfies with legendary former Manchester United boss, Sir Alex Ferguson, 82, retired England ace Wayne Rooney. Kelbie's latest snap comes just days after the funerals of two Scottish gangsters who were gunned down in the Costa del Sol. Top 'Lyons' gang figures Ross Monaghan, 43, and Eddie Lyons Jnr, 46, were shot dead having watched the Champions League final at Monaghans bar in Fuengirola, Spain, on May 31.

Ed Sheeran swaps guitars for galleries in latest career move
Ed Sheeran, the global pop powerhouse known for chart-topping ballads and stadium-filling tours, is stepping into a whole new spotlight. This time the Gimmie Love singer is venturing into the the art world and has launched his first-ever visual art collection. Cosmic Carpark Paintings, his first collection, is a vibrant and unexpected foray into the world of contemporary art for the Ipswich born singer-songwriter. Ed Sheeran, the global pop powerhouse known for chart-topping ballads and stadium-filling tours, is stepping into a whole new spotlight. Pic: Dana Jacobs/FilmMagic Created in a disused central London car park while Sheeran was crisscrossing the globe on his Mathematics tour, the collection is a bold departure from his music style. The pieces, a mix of original canvases and unique prints, are fuelled by celestial inspiration, blending raw abstraction with a sense of cosmic curiosity, and yes, every brushstroke comes straight from the singer himself. Ed said that he was encouraged to pursue the possibility of releasing his own collection by British painter Damien Hirst. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Ed Sheeran (@teddysphotos) The exhibition will be on display at the HENI Gallery on Lexington Street, London, between July 11 and August 1. 50 per cent of all proceeds from original sales and £300 from each print will go directly to the Ed Sheeran Foundation, which supports music education and provides grants for select schools, projects and community music groups across the UK. Chatting about the new venture, the singer began: 'I started painting at the end of my Divide Tour in 2019 and it's something that I've used as a creative outlet ever since. This time the Gimmie Love singer is venturing into the the art world and is set to launch his first-ever visual art collection. Pic:for Coachella 'When I was growing up, both of my parents worked in art, so I've naturally always been interested in it, and I always enjoyed studying art at school. 'I was back and forth on tour last year, and I used a lot of my downtime in the UK to paint. I'd run to a disused car park in Soho each morning, paint and then run home and I'd do that daily until I headed back out on tour again. 'I told my good friends Damien Hirst and Joe Hage about the paintings and they encouraged me to do my own thing. 'So I decided to use it as a way of raising funds for my Ed Sheeran Foundation which supports music education in the UK and helps fund grassroots music projects, schools and equipment, so all kids have access to music,' he added. 'I want to thank Damien and Joe for everything they've done for me on this exhibition and I'm delighted to be putting it on.'
