Lewis Capaldi in talks for Netflix comeback documentary two years after troubling Glastonbury performance
LEWIS CAPALDI is in talks with Netflix about a film following his comeback – addressing the demons that led to his abrupt exit from the music business.
It has been two years since he retreated from the spotlight.
The Someone You Loved singer was on stage at Glastonbury in 2023 when it became clear his anxiety and Tourette syndrome were taking its toll and he became emotional.
Just days later, he issued a statement cancelling all his forthcoming concerts because he needed 'to spend much more time getting my mental and physical health in order'.
But he is now making tentative steps back into the industry, and has met execs at Netflix to discuss options for a new project.
A music insider said: 'Lewis is in a much better place than he was in 2023 and is at a point now where he is thinking about returning to music.
'Everything is going to be different this time, so that he isn't overloaded and his mental health doesn't suffer.
'But he really wants his fans to be able to understand what he has been going through and where he has been for the last two years.
'That's why another special makes sense.
'There are discussions about what form it could take, but there will naturally be a lot of honest and vulnerable moments. It's not been an easy time.
'His last documentary with Netflix, How I'm Feeling Now, was really intimate and personal and became a massive success.
'Naturally, they are interested in working with him again and they've been having talks about doing just that.'
In March, his pal Yungblud confirmed Lewis had been back in the studio working on songs.
Yungblud said: 'I have heard his new music and it sounds great. He is getting his mental health right.
'I love him, as me and him have been on this ride together.'
He made a tentative return to the stage last month when Tom Walker performed a gig in Edinburgh in aid of Campaign Against Living Miserably.
Lewis played a surprise six-song set, with punters told not to take photos or videos.
To date, he has scored five No1 singles, while both of his albums have topped the charts.
And I'm sure there are many more to come.

Fallon Sherrock announces break from darts in emotional statement: ‘I need to get myself well'
Fallon Sherrock has indicated that she plans to take a break from darts in 2026 for health reasons. Sherrock, 30, broke the glass ceiling in the sport when she became the first woman to win a match at the PDC World Championship in 2019, earning herself the nickname 'Queen of the Palace'. However, she has struggled with kidney problems since the birth of her son Rory in 2014, after which she fell ill. With energy levels lower than optimum, Sherrock admits she is far from her best after seeing her time in competition limited. "I feel like it will be my B-game [at the moment] and I don't know if I am able to get my A-game out," Sherrock told Online Darts. "If I'm going to have a year out next year I want to make a bang this year. I want to try to get to everything even if I'm not playing 100%. "I need to sort myself out, get myself well and then the sky is the limit." Sherrock has been outspoken about her battles with kidney disease, for which she received treatment in 2017. She now appears set to spend a couple years away from darts as she prioritises getting healthy. "All I want to do is practice at home for a couple of hours a day and I can't do that at the moment, so it is difficult," she added. 'I've had to pull out of some exhibitions recently because I haven't had the stamina. "I have had to narrow down what I am playing in at the moment, and that hurts because I love darts. "Fingers crossed that in a couple of years' time I'll be alright and back to winning well."

‘I moved to Bali as a digital nomad. Life is luxurious even on a budget'
To take part in How I Spend It, please use the form below or email money@ As a thank you, published diarists will receive a £50 Amazon voucher. All our subjects are genuine but anonymous. For years, London was my life. The familiar hum of the city, the vibrant energy, the endless opportunities – I loved it. But over time, that hum began to sound more like a monotonous drone. The pressure of continually climbing the career ladder, the exorbitant cost of living (especially rent for my flat near Camden), and the feeling of being perpetually on a treadmill all started to wear me down. Then, the pandemic hit, and the forced pause made me seriously re-evaluate everything. So, I did what any sane (or perhaps slightly mad) person would do: I let out my flat in London, packed a single suitcase, and became a digital nomad. It felt like a leap of faith, but also an incredibly liberating decision. My parents have always instilled in me a strong work ethic, but also encouraged me to pursue experiences, so they were surprisingly supportive of this unconventional path. I studied Graphic Design at university, graduating with a student loan that I'm still chipping away at each month. My first job out of university was as a junior designer, earning £22,000 annually. I steadily worked my way up, which led to a senior designer role where I was earning £35,000 before I decided to go freelance three years ago. Now, as a freelance graphic designer with primarily UK clients, my income is variable, but I aim for around £4,500 gross per month. This figure also includes the £1,500 I receive from renting out my UK flat, which helps cover my ongoing UK commitments. My monthly outgoings here in Bali are considerably lower, averaging around £2,000, which includes everything from accommodation and food to travel and leisure. My financial goals have shifted significantly. While I'm not actively saving for a house in the UK at the moment – that feels like a goal for a much more distant future – my current focus is on building a solid emergency fund and investing in experiences rather than accumulating material possessions. I aim to put away at least £500-£700 into a flexible savings account each month, though this can vary depending on project flow. I'm also mindful of maintaining a healthy buffer in my business account for quiet periods. I truly believe that investing in travel and new cultures enriches my life in ways that traditional savings accounts can't. It's a different kind of wealth. Monday I woke up to the symphony of nature. The guesthouse is nestled amid rice paddies, so instead of London traffic, I hear roosters, chirping geckos, and the gentle splash of the koi pond. It's incredibly serene, a stark contrast to my previous life. After yoga on my balcony I had a green smoothie for breakfast. I blended spinach, banana, pineapple, and coconut water from the local market (£2). It's incredibly refreshing and a healthy start to the day. I am lucky that the guesthouse offers a communal workspace for £15 a day with complimentary tea and coffee. It's a mix of solo travellers and digital nomads, creating a productive and friendly atmosphere – and the tranquil environment helps me concentrate. The guesthouse itself is a collection of traditional Balinese bungalows surrounding a central garden and pool – it feels like a little oasis. For lunch I went to a nearby family-run eatery that's a local favourite and opted for a mixed rice dish called nasi campur. It's delicious and at £3 the price is incredibly cheap – a real bargain compared to any London lunch! After work I headed out to explore Ubud. I wandered through the bustling local markets, admiring the handcrafted souvenirs and colourful textiles. I resisted buying anything, but it's easy to get carried away here. For just £6 I decided to visit the Ubud Monkey Forest. It's a bit chaotic, with hundreds of monkeys roaming freely, and you have to be vigilant with your belongings, but it's undeniably entertaining. I found myself laughing out loud watching their antics – definitely a unique interaction, even if they're just after your sunglasses! Dinner was at a vegan restaurant where I opted for a tempeh curry with brown rice (£8), which was flavourful and satisfying. It's wonderful how many healthy and affordable options there are here. Total spend: £34 Tuesday After a lie-in I bought a selection of local fruits from the market – incredibly sweet mangoes, papayas, and vibrant dragon fruit – and enjoyed them with strong Balinese coffee (total £4). This is a daily pleasure that feels so luxurious for the price. I settled down for a morning in the workspace (£15) before going to lunch (£7) with other digital nomads at a popular hangout spot. We share stories and tips about places to work, best local eats, and visa intricacies. It's a fantastic way to build community and feel less isolated. In the afternoon I treated myself to a traditional Balinese massage for £15. This is a regular 'splurge' for me – but incredibly affordable relaxation. The equivalent at home could cost up to £100. I joined a cooking class learning to make traditional Indonesian dishes like sate lilit and gado-gado. The instructor was hilarious, and it was a hands-on way to understand the local cuisine. Plus, I got to eat everything we made, a good deal for £12 a class. I enjoyed a video call with my best friend back in London before bed, sharing stories of my adventures and getting updates from home. It's important to maintain those connections. Total: £38 Wednesday I decided to take a complete break from work and immerse myself in Balinese culture for the day. After breakfast of coffee and fruit at the guesthouse (£3) I rented a scooter (£7 including petrol) and set off to visit Tirta Empul Temple, a sacred water temple known for its purification rituals. The journey to the temple was an adventure in itself with roads winding through lush rice paddies and small villages, offering breathtaking views. Arrived at Tirta Empul Temple (donation £2). The temple complex is a marvel of Balinese architecture, with intricately carved stone shrines and serene pools. The main attraction is the holy spring, where locals and tourists alike participate in the purification ritual, bathing under the spouts of water. However, I also visited another temple that day – it was beautiful, but sadly absolutely swarming with tourists. It made it difficult to really appreciate the serenity and spiritual significance of the place, which was a shame. I find it's a delicate balance, wanting to see these iconic spots but also wanting to avoid the crowds. Lunch was at a local cafe near the temple where I had gado-gado (Indonesian salad with peanut sauce) and fresh coconut water for £5. After exploring the area surrounding the temples I headed back to the guesthouse and enjoyed a dip in the pool. Dinner at another local spot for just £6. I opted for a flavourful chicken satay with peanut sauce. Total: £23 Thursday Coffee and fruit from the local market for breakfast (£2.50) before I head back to the workspace for the day. For lunch I tried a local cafe that was recommended by another digital nomad, and had a very nice vegetable curry (£6). This place had a lovely, quiet atmosphere perfect for a mid-day break. I decided to take a batik class, learning the traditional art of wax-resist dyeing. I even managed to create a small piece myself – definitely not museum-worthy, but a fun, hands-on cultural experience for £10. Dinner with other digital nomads (£8). We met at a local restaurant, sharing stories and tips while enjoying a delicious meal. Total: £41.50 Friday Another fresh fruit and coffee breakfast (£3) before settling in the workspace (£15) to meet client deadlines. For lunch I went to a local seafood restaurant and enjoyed very good grilled fish (£7). In the afternoon I took a silversmithing class (£15), learning to create my own silver jewellery. It was a challenging but incredibly rewarding experience, and I made a simple ring I'm actually proud of. Earlier in the week, I stumbled across this little market selling the most beautiful hand-carved wooden bowls. I managed to haggle the price down to a steal, which felt like a real win. That's the beauty of Bali, amazing little bargains are everywhere if you know where to look. I was craving something different for dinner so I treated myself to a delicious pizza at a local Italian restaurant for £12. Sometimes you just need a taste of home! Total: £52 Weekend I rented a scooter to explore the surrounding villages. This gives me incredible freedom and is super cost-effective at just £5 and £2 for petrol. This is where you see the real Bali, away from the main tourist hubs. Lunch was at a roadside stall for a plate of mie goreng (fried noodles) and a fresh coconut (£4). These mini-eateries are the best for authentic, cheap eats. I rode to a nearby beach, enjoying the warm sand and clear water (parking is just £1). The journey itself through the lush landscapes is part of the experience. I enjoyed a seafood dinner (£10) at a restaurant overlooking the ocean, watching the sunset. It's still relatively affordable to have a lovely meal with a view. Bali certainly can be very affordable, especially when it comes to delicious food and local transport. However, those tempting villas with private pools, and the occasional urge for Western comforts, do add up. I'm being mindful of my budget, and generally, my cost of living here is significantly lower than what I was paying in London, allowing me to save more than before. I'm not ruling out a return to the UK at some point, but the idea of travelling more is definitely very appealing. Perhaps a mix of both in the future, where I base myself somewhere for a few months and then move on, is the ideal scenario for me. For now, Bali is home.

Shoppers race to Asda as £7 Persil laundry liquid slashed to pennies & ‘greedy' people are clearing the shelves
ASDA has slashed the prices of a wide range of laundy essentials. Shoppers are racing to pick up the bargains as shelves are being cleared across different locations. 5 5 Some of the products are marked to just pennies, but the deals aren't available in every Asda store. One customer shared the haul he picked up in a post on the Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK. "This will keep a few people happy and their clothes smelling nice for a while," the bargain hunter joked. He revealed that he visited eight Asda stores in search of the sales and "drew blanks" in five. The Facebook user explained that he got "a few minor bits" in one, while he "did OK" in another. He revealed the final store he visited "had shelves full and still had loads when I left". According to the bargain hunter, Asda shoppers need to be prepared to put in some time and effort to nab these deals. He shared images of all the products he picked up, filling multiple shopping trolleys and baskets, as well as his car boot. His haul included Vanish Oxi Action, which was reduced to just £2.35. He also nabbed Daz Gel, Lenor Fabric Conditioner, Lenor Scent Booster Beads, Comfort Laundry Detergent, Ineos Laundry Detergent, Persil Wonder Wash and detergent capsules. Cleaning fan reveals the cheap, easy way to get clothes smelling 'beautiful' without shelling out on pricey dryer sheets The rest of his boot was filled with Surf Detergent Capsules, Eco Egg Laundry Egg Refill Pellets, Fairy Detergent Capsules, and Bold Detergent Capsules. Meanwhile, the Asda own brand Fabric Softeners were available for just 68p. Another shopper shared the buys she picked up from the Asda location in Pentwyn. The store had reduced all its Surf products to just £1.50. Meanwhile, the Persil 55 Wonder Wash is available for just £2.50, and the Ineos Laundry Detergent is listed for £1.48. Laundry tips Catherine Green, sustainable cleaning expert at smol shared her laundry tips. How often should you be remaking your bed? When it comes to your bed, maintaining a hygienic sleep setup can actually improve your sleep quality, helping you start every day better. Most people shed 500 million skin cells per day and a lot of that ends up in bed for dust mites to feed on. And those with asthma or allergies might see symptoms worsen by sleeping on dirty sheets! You want to be washing your sheets once a week - or every 10 days if you don't suffer from allergies and wear nightclothes. Bedding builds up with sweat, skin cells and oils quickly, even if it doesn't look dirty. Using an effective detergent like smol's will still give you a great clean on a 20°C cycle - that's better for the planet and your energy bills! What temperature do smol recommend then? For your regular weekly washes I recommend washing most loads at 20°C for 30 minutes. It's gentler on fabrics, slashes energy use, and still delivers excellent stain removal with the right detergent. A colder wash can actually be more effective if you opt for a bio detergent as its enzymes need cooler water; too hot and they lose their ability to digest stains. A wash at 60°c (unless you have silk sheets) every now and again can help kill off dust mites and other nasties. What's the difference between bio and non-bio detergent? Bio detergents contain enzymes, which are especially good at breaking down tough stains like food, grass, or sweat. It's best used in mid to low temperature washes (ideally between 20-40°C) as anything hotter can cause them not to work effectively. Non-bio skips the enzymes, which in turn makes it more suitable for those with sensitive skin or allergies. Although non-bio doesn't contain enzymes, it's still great at removing stains and keeping your clothes clean, you just may need to use a slightly higher temperature setting to aid with the cleaning process. And there's a secret button on your washing machine that could save you £72 per year. Meanwhile, B&M shoppers were racing to pick up laundry buy scanning for just 10p. Or a 69p household item can also be used to remove stains from your clothes. And five simple laundry hacks that save you money and protect your clothes. Plus, adding another kitchen staple will instantly brighten your laundry. 5 5 5
