SCOTTISH singer-songwriter Lewis Capaldi has thrilled music fans by going undercover to serve in a Greggs bakery.
The 22-year-old was on Teesside for the BBC Big Weekend gig and surprised festival-goers by turning up at one of the popular baker’s Middlesbrough outlets and chatted to fans.
He wore the full Greggs uniform, including hairnet, while claiming to be on work experience and served up breakfasts, coffees, sandwiches and bakes.
Word got out and fans flocked to meet him. He chatted with people before belting out an impromptu acoustic performance in front of the shop.
The baker said it will be using specially branded Capaldi bags at the store all weekend.
Capaldi’s debut album Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent launched last week and headed straight to number one, becoming the fastest-selling debut album of 2019.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
