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.'

Poppy Delevingne pulls out of movie project as she prepares to welcome first child with billionaire businessman Archie Keswick
Poppy Delevingne has stepped away from a drama film project as she prepares to welcome her first child. The model, 39, who is expecting a baby girl this month with her billionaire partner Archie Keswick, 44, has exited the cast of the US film The Gun On Second Street, as confirmed by MailOnline's Richard Eden on Thursday. Director Rohit Karn Batra previously told MailOnline that he cast Poppy because he 'wanted to cast someone who was posh but with a West Virginia twang'. However, Rohit has now revealed that she will no longer appear in the movie, stating simply: 'Poppy is no longer a part of the production.' Speaking at the DDA cocktail party during the Cannes Film Festival, the director confirmed that her role will now be taken over by Dylan Penn, 34, daughter of Sean Penn. A spokesperson for Poppy said it was her decision to step away from the project. It comes after Poppy admitted that she's struggling to get used to how her body is changing through her pregnancy. The model discovered she was pregnant after noticing her clothing had gotten tighter between fittings for the Burberry show at London Fashion Week in September. However, she says she's still not got to grips with the ongoing changes to her figure in the months since, claiming she was 'one of the worst pregnancy dressers'. Poppy has launched her new clothing collaboration with Nobody's Child, inspired by her own looks over the years, with each piece named after her friends and family. She said: 'In my twenties, I would pretty much wear anything. I'm a bit more minimal, a little more pared down. I'd like to think my style attitude has evolved somewhat.' Speaking to Grazia about her evolving style, the socialite said her fashion had 'calmed down' in her thirties, compared to her more eclectic taste in her youth. She said: 'In my twenties, I would pretty much wear anything. I'm a bit more minimal, a little more pared down. I'd like to think my style attitude has evolved somewhat.' However, she admitted that since getting pregnant with businessman boyfriend Archie Keswick, she has found it challenging picking outfits now that her body has changed. Poppy said: 'I might be, so far, one of the worst pregnancy dressers. Six months in, I'm still trying to get my head around my body changing. 'I'm in awe of it but, at the same time, I'm like, OK, this is interesting having different boobs. I'll probably get to grips with it in my last month, by which time it will be over and done with. I'm trying my best.' After previously revealing that she and Archie are expecting a baby girl, she said her sisters Cara and Chloe couldn't wait to become aunties, adding: 'Another girl to add to our tribe is really a dream come true.' Announcing her pregnancy in January to ELLE, Poppy said that while she would have been happy with any gender, coming from a family of girls meant the news she was having a daughter was particularly welcome. She added: 'She really is all I've ever wanted. Obviously, I would have been fine with either, and when I was younger, I always thought when I get pregnant, I wouldn't find out, but the second we got told we could find out, we did. 'I'm so excited. I come from all girls, we're very girl-heavy. Girls are great.' Poppy and Archie kept their exciting news to themselves for a while and only told friends and family around the four-month mark. The model admitted she was 'really nervous' about her pregnancy and wanted to 'protect' it for a while. She explained: 'It just feels like such an extraordinary privilege to be able to do this, to be able to have a baby at this age and at this time, and when it happened, I couldn't really believe it.' Poppy has long wanted to start a family of her own, but admitted in recent years she thought it might not happen for her and had 'made peace with it'. She said her sisters were 'elated' when they found out the news, adding: 'It just feels like such an extraordinary privilege to be able to do this, to be able to have a baby at this age and at this time, and when it happened, I couldn't really believe it. It still feels really surreal.' She went public with her relationship with billionaire Archie, 44, at BTS Hyde Park in July 2024. He is the son of Simon Keswick, former director of multi-billion-pound Hong Kong conglomerate Jardine Matheson - owner of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group. According to the Sunday Times Rich List, Archie has a private fortune of an estimated £6.35bn, and previously dated Poppy's old pal Sienna Miller in 2021. While Poppy was previously married to aviation businessman James Cook for eight years. They tied the knot in 2014 at St Paul's Church in Kensington, London, with a guestlist including Alexa Chung, Georgia May Jagger, Princess Beatrice and Suki Waterhouse. Poppy broke her silence on the split last September, saying she 'will always have a good relationship' with James.

Best fashion and beauty buys perfect for snapping up this weekend
From Neom to Rodial, Nike and more, these are the must-haves we're coveting this week It's finally Friday and time to do what we do best: retail therapy. Each week, the Mirror's shopping team rounds up the pieces we can't stop thinking about - from fresh finds we're eyeing up to the ones already living rent-free in our makeup bags and wardrobes. This Friday (May 9), we're loving dreamy launches from Neom and Rodial, plus the recently dropped Nobody's Child x Poppy Delevingne range that's already giving us outfit envy. We're also turning to Nike for some swimsuit inspo (because yes, we're manifesting sun) and Burga's Italian-inspired phone case, which has won over shopping writer Tiffany. Not to mention Ariana Grande's latest perfume, which is tapping into the ever-popular cherry trend. Without further ado, scroll on for our hand-picked hits of the week. Tiffany's picks: Sync Beauty Matcha Lip Scrub - £20.85 Whether it is a cold blast of winds in winter or blazing heat in the summer, lip care is important all year round. Regular scrub treatments help to improve cell turnover and reveal plumper and moisturised lips. Sync Beauty, a wellness-meets-skincare brand, focuses on treating your lips with nature's finest ingredients. The Matcha Lip Scrub, £20.85, is the perfect beauty arsenal to heal cracked lips and banish dry skin. Made in Greece with natural ingredients, including olive oil, hydrogenated vegetable oil, sunflower seed oil, shea butter, rosemary leaf extract, and mango seed extract, this product locks moisture and revitalises the pout for a refreshed look. The balm-like texture with fine granules buffs away dead skin while unleashing an invigorating burst of matcha scent. Unlike other lip scrubs, it needs to be rinsed off with lukewarm water, and the results are soft and plump lips that last for days. Shoppers can also try the Tinted Lip Oil (£23.05), which glides on effortlessly for soft, extra shiny, and visibly plump lips. Burga Café del Sur Phone Case - from £45.95 May is the month that gets everyone excited about travel, and Burga's new phone case collection might persuade you to jet off to enjoy a Mediterranean holiday. The new Café del Sur transports that dreamy summer holiday feeling into an everyday gadget - our top picks are the Today's Special case features and Gourmet case. When Burga gives you a lemon-themed case like the Frizzante, take it as a sign to enjoy a fizzy lemonade while lounging by the beach. All Tough Magsafe cases are priced at £45.95, and for those looking for extra protection with shock absorption, the Elite MagSafe cases are available for £74.95. Maria Nila Head & Hair Heal Beauty Bag - £46 Plant-based haircare brand Maria Nila has launched Head & Hair Heal collections, allowing consumers to enjoy salon-quality hair nourishment at home. The limited edition Beauty Bag features three haircare products - shampoo, conditioner and hair oil - packed in a multifunctional bag with transparent mesh that resonates like a music box. Shoppers can pick one depending on their hair concerns. The True Soft (£46) is jam-packed with Argon oil, which deeply nourishes the hair shaft, reviving dry hair and reducing frizz so hair can be silky soft. The Structure Repair (£46) contains strengthening algae to soften and repair damaged hair, perfect for those who can't resist slicking their hair back daily. Shoppers with fine hair can try the Pure Volume (£46). The pro vitamin B5 works to achieve weightless volume and lift roots for a boost. Nike Swim - from £24 Nike Swim has dropped some head-turning pieces that shoppers don't want to miss out on. The festival-ready, watersport-friendly Effortless Essential Triangle Bikini (£26 at ASOS) now comes in a Baroque Brown shade, which taps perfectly into the Colour of the Year. Made with at least 75% recycled materials, it features an adjustable back and shoulder strap for the ideal fit. It is paired with tie-string bottoms (£24 at ASOS) that are as ready for the poolside. For a bright-coloured hue, this Nike Essential Bralette Bikini Top (£32 at JD Sports) in azure blue has caught many shoppers' eyes. Crafted from light, stretchy, and quick-drying fabric for a flexible fit, it features adjustable straps and a clasp-fastening to the back for easy on-and-off and is finished with classic Swoosh branding. Alternatively, Boux Avenue's Mirada crinkle balconette bikini top offers a fun option with its shiny crinkle fabric. Lauren's picks: Rodial SPF Drops - £56.25 from £75 With the sun finally making a regular appearance, I've become extra diligent with my SPF - and Rodial's SPF Drops have become a regular fixture in my routine. It's the latest by the luxury skincare brand, perhaps best known for its Dragon's Blood line, beloved by everyone from Lady Gaga to Kate Middleton. I've been applying a few drops every morning before my moisturiser and primer, knowing I'm getting broad-spectrum UV protection plus added defence against blue light and pollution (a major bonus for any fellow Londoners). The texture is a dream: lightweight, non-sticky, and sinks in beautifully without pilling. It also leaves my skin feeling hydrated and looking smooth under makeup, which is a big win. That said, I noticed a slight irritation around my under eyes when I applied it too close, so I've been more careful in that area. If you're after a more affordable alternative, the e.l.f. SKIN Suntouchable Invisistick offers SPF protection for £14 - but if you're in the mood to treat yourself, Rodial's SPF Drops really do deliver. Monpure No-Cre When I'm doing my makeup, my hair has to be out for my face - otherwise I'm left with foundation smudges on my baby hairs and mascara on various strands. But tying it back or using a hairband usually means kinks - not ideal. With that in mind, these Monpure No-Crease Clips have recently crept to the top of my wishlist. These sleek clips are designed to hold hair back without snagging, tugging or leaving those annoying ridges. Whether your hair is straight, curly, fine or thick, wet or dry, they promise a smooth grip that won't mess with your style. True, they're expensive at £15 for a pack of four, but they've earned their place in pro kits and are often spotted backstage at fashion weeks, which gives them a certain 'I know what I'm doing' energy. But if you're after a more budget-friendly alternative, Brushworks's pack of eight offers a similar crease-free hold for £5.99. Wellbeing Pod Mini+ Waterless Essential Oil Diffuser - £69 Ask anyone - friends, colleagues, family - and they'll confirm I'm a full-on Neom superfan. I first discovered the brand through a friend's candle recommendation and, in my previous role as a homes writer at Good Housekeeping and House Beautiful, my obsession only deepened. So, you can imagine my excitement when I got my hands on the brand's latest launch. The Wellbeing Pod Mini+ Diffuser is a waterless essential oil diffuser that's as chic as it is calming. The new collection comes in white, black and rose gold - a sleek, elevated update to the pastel pods released last year. I keep mine on my WFH desk, where it quietly emits refreshing bursts of scent throughout the day, making my space feel fresh, homely, and a little more zen. I had to consult a quick how-to video to get started, but it has a detailed instruction manual and everything you need to set it up. Just be sure to give it a full charge first - once powered up, you can adjust the diffusion strength, set it on a timer and trust the auto shut-off feature to kick in if it gets knocked or tilted. The battery life is impressive too, offering up to 125 hours of fragrance on a single charge. It's a little luxury I keep coming back to, and I doubt I'll ever tire of it. Note that fragrance oils aren't included, so you'll have to purchase them separately. Ariana Grande R.E.M. Cherry Eclipse Perfume - £45 Ariana Grande might be best known for her powerhouse vocals and recent role in Wicked, but now, she's almost just as popular for her perfume range. Her fragrances - from Cloud to God Is A Woman - regularly go viral and consistently rack up glowing reviews from beauty editors and shoppers alike. Now, she is hopping on the biggest scent trend of the moment: cherry. Cherry Eclipse is the latest addition to her fragrance line, blending juicy notes of black cherry jubilee with honeysuckle petals and grounding them with warm amber and musk. A swirl of marshmallow meringue gives it an extra-sweet kick—think of it as a rich dessert in fragrance form without being too sickly. It's bold, playful and totally on-brand for Ari - and for cherry scent lovers, it might be your next signature. Some other buzzed-about cherry perfumes right now include Tom Ford's Lost Cherry and Kayali's Lovefest Burning Cherry. Nobody's Child Poppy Delevingne Crochet Juno Top - £99 In exciting news for fashion fans everywhere, model Poppy Delevingne has recently joined forces with Nobody's Child for a collaboration that is packed with vintage festival must-haves, adaptable day-to-night attire, and eye-catching pieces. The new collection is reportedly inspired by Poppy's travels, treasured relationships, and unforgettable experiences. flowing dresses, pinstripe suits, and boho-inspired blouses. My top choice is this charming crochet top —perfect for the upcoming festival season (it's not long now!). Otherwise, it's ideal for any upcoming holidays as a beach cover-up or just for dinners out. It's easily styled with a pair of linen shorts or a floaty maxi skirt for a chic, effortless look when you aren't using it for seaside trips.
