In the video he says: "I'm Nick Chicane and welcome to the video that I thought I would never have to make.
"This is my right to reply to all the comments online about the new Calvin Harris single Blessings' similarity to my 30-year old Offshore.
"I am defending my copyright and intellectual property here guys - I'd like to know what your comments are here guys."
Harris then posted an eight-minute-long video in response to the claims, which he captioned: "Response to the people calling me a plagiarist over the last couple of days after that guys video, all the best."

Response to the people calling me a plagiarist over the last couple of days after that guys video, all the best x ♬ Blessings - Calvin Harris & Clementine Douglas
The video showed him playing the two singles alongside each other to see which parts sounded the same.
He can be heard laughing and calling Bracegirdle a "stupid b****rd".
"It's not the same as you hearing that on the radio and thinking 'ah, that reminds me of that Offshore tune' - you've not heard Offshore in about f***ing 20 years and you know it.
"I'll keep playing it until you f***ing realise," he added.

"This guy's gone, 'this guy's a thief, plain and simple, this guy's ripped off my intellectual property'.
"One, you didn't invent the guitar. Two, it's not the same, it's not the f***ing same."
Another DJ, Sam Sax, remixed Harris's rant into its own song, which has since gone viral on social media.
Hundreds of videos have used the sound, gaining tens of thousands of likes.
Sharing the audio, one TikTok user said: "Two djs arguing over who stole whos idea for their summer hit is the funniest thing to happen this year".
Another said: "A Calvin Harris rant becoming Scotland's song of the summer was not on my 2025 bingo card".
Harris responded to the remix: "Hhahahahah".

One wrote: "She should be at the club." "This makes me sad," a second added. Another commented: "It is scary how normal teen pregnancy is in the states. It really is a third world country." But it seems that her teenage pregnancy has worked out in the best way possible for Karina and her family. She often shares videos of what it's like being a teen mum on social media, and it helps her earn money.

Creators on TikTok can make money through TikTok's creator fund if they have over 10,000 followers, and she had over 500k. TikTok bosses say: "The funds that each creator can earn are worked out by a combination of factors - including the number of views and the authenticity of those views, the level of engagement on the content, as well as making sure content is in line with our Community Guidelines and Terms of Service. No two creators or videos are the same, and there is no limit to the different kinds of content we will support with the fund. UK Teen Mum Statistics Teen pregnancies in the UK have been decreasing considerably since 2007... The under-18 conception rate has decreased considerably since 2007, reports Nuffield Trust. Between 2007 and 2021, the under-18 conception rate in England and Wales decreased by 68%, from 42 per 1,000 women to 13 per 1,000 women. This resulted in 13,131 under-18 conceptions in England and Wales in 2021. "The Creator Fund total varies daily and is dependent on the amount of videos published by our community that day - so this will fluctuate based on the amount of content being published." The clip went viral on her TikTok account @padilla_twin.teenfamily with over 3 million views and while many judged the mum's teen pregnancy, others were quick to support her. "No, just no, absolutely not! 16? Hell nahh," penned one. Meanwhile another said: "Support teen mums, not teen pregnancy. She's doing well considering she had twins at 16." "I was a teen mum too. You are doing an amazing job. Your husband and babies are very blessed to have you,' claimed a third. Someone else added: "I'm so blessed that I still get the freedom to play Roblox and Fortnite at the big age of 18 instead."

Metro journalists select and curate the products that feature on our site. If you make a purchase via links on this page we will earn commission – learn more Likely fuelled by my recent increased interest in de-puffing gua sha tutorials and collagen supplement brands, my TikTok algorithm has finally caught on to the fact that burning the candle at both ends this summer is starting to catch up with me. No amount of concealer could possibly cover the dark circles I'm currently dealing with! But now, every other video on my FYP seems to be someone reviewing the L'Oreal Paris Revitalift Eye Bag Instant Eraser – and I have to admit that the results seem pretty impressive. After all, my trusty ice roller can only reverse so much damage before it's time to pull out the big guns. A targeted treatment, the fast-acting formula has been clinically proven to visibly reduce eye bags, wrinkles, and signs of puffiness in just fifteen minutes. Formulated with innovative gel-to-tape technology, it transforms into an invisible and flexible film when applied – instantly compressing to tighten, smooth, and blur the skin for up to eight hours. Best of all, while it typically retails at a punchy price of £29.99, there's currently 50% off across the L'Oreal Revitalift range at Boots – so, you can try out this trending treatment yourself for just £14.99.

It takes 15 minutes to fully dry and set – so try and keep your face relatively still while it works its magic.

Impressionist Francine Lewis is very well-known for her comical take on Katie Price and regularly performed as her both during her time on BGT in 2013 as well as in her further TV and media appearances. 5 Katie Price has been mocked by her pal turned rival over her plastic surgery Credit: Katie Price/Backgrid 5 Francine mocked Katie in the social media clip Credit: Tiktok/@francinelewisofficial Whilst the pair were understood to be friendly at one point after mingling at showbiz parties, Katie is believed to have got particularly frustrated with Francine's constant mocking of her personal life - leading to a rift between the women. They also clashed in the 90s amid speculation that Francine may have been pursuing an illicit romance with Katie's then-boyfriend, Warren Furman. Now, Francine has impersonated Katie once more in a new social media video in which she mocked her tighter-than-ever face following another round of plastic surgery - bringing their bitter rivarly back to the surface. In the comedy TikTok clip, Francine not only took aim at Katie's surgery but also the recently leaked clip in which Katie could be seen counting wads of cash. The video, shared by Alex Reid, has prompted a war between Katie and her exes as she could be heard discussing owing Alex money as well as making ex Peter Andre pay the school fees for their children due to her "extending her bankruptcy". In the clip, Francine can be seen counting up money, just like Katie. Francine pretends to get flustered as she counts up in "thousands" before she refers to Katie's boyfriend, JJ Slater, as she says: "Oh, JJ, you need to help me count my money!" Turning her attention to Katie's surgery, Francine said: "So I've just got back from Turkey. "Yes! I have had another facelift - oh God, I can't believed it!"

Before a third penned: "Amazing took her off wonderfully." The video will no doubt make Katie's blood boil following her colourful past with Francine. The actress and comedy star previously revealed all to The Sun on how their friendship had turned frosty before they managed to recoup things in the mid 2000s before they once again went down hill following her BGT stint. They met through Katie's then boyfriend Warren Furman who was riding high as one of the stars of Gladiators. Katie enjoyed a highly publicised relationship with muscle man Warren for three years. They were engaged between 1998 and 1999, but dated from 1996, and he was her first high profile romance and engagement. 5 Katie was once close with Francine and they even attended each other's weddings Credit: Getty 5 Francine and Katie have not always seen eye-to-eye Credit: The Mega Agency Warren had also met Francine through another TV show he was filming at the time, and he ended up introducing his friend, Joel, who would become Francine's husband, to the talented actress. Francine explained to The Sun at The Lifestyle Awards: 'Joel was best friends with one of the Gladiators, Warren, who was Ace in the Gladiators who went out with Katie Price. "I met Warren on a TV show I was doing, Night Fever, on Channel 5. "And Katie thought something was going on between us, she was out for my blood at that point!" Francine added: "Me and Warren were a bit like Rachel and Ross, will they, won't they? "But we never did. We had the odd kiss, that was it. Then I met Joel." Francine and Katie eventually became friends through their partners, and Katie apprently love Francine's impressions of her. She previously said: "At the time, she loved it, she used to make me ring her brother and mum. In fact, when she was on I'm A Celeb she was talking about me doing it. "But we then lost touch and we weren't friends anymore and on BGT I maybe pushed it a little bit too far on the final, I don't think she liked it, put it that way… "I've got nothing against Katie, she was at my wedding, I was at her wedding."
