Lewis Capaldi has become known for his down to earth attitude despite rising to stardom almost overnight.

From hilarious videos of his hotel celebrations after reaching the No 1 chart spot to ditching LA for Glasgow, he's never taking himself too seriously.

And it seems the Bathgate star hasn't forgotten his roots, returning to West Lothian to support his local football team, Whitburn FCA.
