James Blunt reveals famous song he wrote about 'being high as a kite on drugs' and 'stalking someone's girlfriend' bought him a house as he celebrates 20th anniversary
James Blunt revealed the success of his hit song, You're Beautiful, bought him a house in Ibiza as he celebrated the track's 20th anniversary on Instagram on Friday. The 2005 track put the singer, 51, on the map and quickly became a global hit due to its catchy melody - but he joked about the lyrics which include 'being high as a kite on drugs' and 'stalking someone's girlfriend'. James took to Instagram to share a comical video with his fans, thanking them for making the tune such a big hit. In the new clip, James could be seen entering his large living room before making his way towards the camera as the iconic song played in the background. He said: '20 years ago today, I put out this song that bought me this house. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. He continued: 'I mean, who would've thought? A song about being high as a kite on drugs and stalking someone else's girlfriend would resonate quite so much. You guys... are beautiful.' Following his post, fans and famous pals flocked to the comment section to compliment the star on his 'great sense of humour' and branded him a 'legend'. One fan wrote: 'You're beautiful James (laughing emoji) can't believe it's 20 years'; 'Genius (laughing emojis)'; 'I bloody love you (laughing emoji) such a great sense of humour.' While Poppy Delevingne commented: 'Hahahahahhahahahahahahaa legend' and Hugo Taylor said: 'It's a nice house.' In 2006, James snapped up the £1.7million property in Ibiza following the success of his number one hit. The hilltop property - surrounded by pine forest - features six bedrooms, a library, sun terrace and an outdoor swimming pool with its own pool house. You're Beautiful has undoubtedly been one of the most adored love songs of the past 20 years. However, the inspiration behind the enduring tune could be described as slightly creepy. Following his post, fans and famous pals flocked to the comment section to compliment the star on his 'great sense of humour' and branded him a 'legend' In 2022, James appeared on The John Bishop Show and revealed the truth behind the beloved ballad - and it's not as romantic as some fans think. When asked what inspired him to write the tune, he confessed: 'It's about me stalking somebody else's girlfriend on the underground while I'm high. James then jokingly added: 'But people play it at their weddings, which is nice.' Upon its release, You're Beautiful made James a household name around the world and the single reached number one in the UK, Canada, Belgium, Norway, the Netherlands, and Italy. Several years ago, James appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show and claimed that the song was about an ex-girlfriend. He told Oprah: 'It's kind of miserable. 'It was about seeing my ex-girlfriend on the Underground in London with her new man, who I didn't know existed. 'She and I caught eyes and lived a lifetime in that moment, but didn't do anything about it and haven't seen each other since.'

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a behavioural condition defined by inattentiveness, hyperactivity and impulsiveness. It affects around five per cent of children in the US. Some 3.6 per cent of boys and 0.85 per cent of girls suffer in the UK. Symptoms typically appear at an early age and become more noticeable as a child grows. These can also include: Constant fidgeting Poor concentration Excessive movement or talking Acting without thinking Inability to deal with stress Little or no sense of danger Careless mistakes Mood swings Forgetfulness Difficulty organising tasks Continually starting new tasks before finishing old ones Inability to listen or carry out instructions Most cases are diagnosed between six and 12 years old. Adults can also suffer, but there is less research into this. ADHD's exact cause is unclear but is thought to involve genetic mutations that affect a person's brain function and structure. Premature babies and those with epilepsy or brain damage are more at risk. ADHD is also linked to anxiety, depression, insomnia, Tourette's and epilepsy. There is no cure. A combination of medication and therapy is usually recommended to relieve symptoms and make day-to-day life easier.

The couple's relationship hasn't always been smooth sailing though as they first started dating in 2010 while starring on MIC. Millie and Hugo were firm friends for five years before the Quality Street heiress made her debut on the reality series at the tender age of 21. There were break-ups, make-ups, drinks thrown and feisty jealousy while their passionate six-month love affair played out on the show in 2011. The London premiere of Mission: Impossible comes just a day after Tom and a host of other stars attended the first premiere at the Cannes Film Festival on Wednesday. With the new but final Mission: Impossible now just days away, fans are more eager than ever to find out how the eight-movie long series will come to its climax.
