Tinie Tempah says nightlife crisis means ‘losing that physical connection'
Tinie Tempah has said that young people are 'losing that physical connection' by not being part of the UK's nightlife economy as he teased new music. The 36-year-old rapper, from south London, is backing the Night Time Industries Association's (NTIA) The Last Night Out campaign, which pushes for people to get away from their screens and onto the dance floor.

'We're losing that physical connection, the joy and energy that you get from dancing, meeting new people from all backgrounds and being free.

EXCLUSIVE Couple who built bright green extension 'blocking sea view' of furious neighbours put near £1m home up for sale just months later
A £1million home with a controversial green-brick extension is up for sale just months after it appeared on Tinie Tempah 's Channel 4 property show. Extraordinary Extensions followed interior designer Karim Mezeli and his partner Carly as they radically transformed the four-bed seaside property in 2022. The couple added a double-storey extension with a unique green-glazed brick to the 1960s end-of-terrace house in Broadstairs, Kent. Karim and Carly, whose episode aired in February last year, said they wanted to swap around the orientation of their 'dream' property so that it faced the sea. The plans, however, sparked furious opposition from neighbours who said the large addition to the family home would block their sea view. Others claimed that the green glazed brick - believed to be the first of its kind used on a residential property - was 'out of keeping' with the other houses on the street. Now MailOnline can reveal that the newly-renovated home, dubbed 'The Green Wing', has been put up for sale for £900,000. Interior designer Karim said they were planning to move out as it was time for the 'next project'. It comes as one neighbour told MailOnline they know someone who is already interested in buying it. Speaking to British rapper Tinie Tempah on Extraordinary Extensions, Carly and Karim described the Broadstairs property as their 'dream home'. Carly said: 'When I stood in the garden seeing the sea, I knew instantly all my dreams had come true. Karim added: 'We just loved the idea of the kids growing up and their view being the lifeboat going up and down. 'It is quite dreamlike.' The couple had a £300,000 budget for the extension - with the green-glazed brick alone estimated to cost £15,000. Carly explained on the show that the building material had typically only been used on pubs and restaurants and not on residential properties. Listing the property for sale on their website, estate agent Ben Morris said: 'The Green Wing is a bold and beautifully executed modern home that embraces its spectacular coastal setting through clean lines, intelligent spatial design, and panoramic sea views from every room. 'Featured on Channel 4's Extraordinary Extensions, the house is a statement of contemporary architecture and coastal living, quietly set on a peaceful residential road in Broadstairs, just a 10-minute walk from the town via the beach.' The extension, however, sparked controversy among neighbours - with some claiming it blocked their sea view and was out of keeping with the area. Several submitted objections on Thanet District Council's public planning portal when the initial application went in back in June 2021. One local living in a nearby close told MailOnline this week: 'I objected as many did but they got planning permission as you are not entitled to a sea view. 'But then you pay for it when you buy a house. 'It was such a beautiful home beforehand – I wanted to buy it but I just couldn't afford it. 'I don't know why they have put it up for sale but I do actually know someone who is interested in buying it.' Pointing to a photo of the original home, the neighbour added: 'That was it before, you can see it has come right out and blocked many people's views. 'It took my sea view away from my back window but it went ahead anyway. It isn't in keeping with the rest of the close but I understand that on the inside it is really lovely. 'They wanted to extend out, they have a family so I understand that but yes a lot of people were unhappy.' Another neighbour told MailOnline they had also looked around the property when it was previously up for sale. They said: 'We have watched it develop from the time they first did something with it. 'We actually first looked at the house before it turned into what it is now. 'We did not go for it. It is an end of terrace house. 'What they have done to it is very different. It is like marmite. 'It isn't the size of it. It is just the green brick. It looks like a Victorian toilet block. But it is just different people's taste. 'Now it is just part of the road.' Tinie Tempah praised Karim and Carly's property on the episode of Extraordinary Extensions that aired in February last year. The British rapper said: 'This is a really confident piece of design, elevated to new heights by the daring choice of brick. 'There was a little bit of me that was thinking you know what this could go horribly wrong but they've not only pulled it off, they have given this house a whole new face and it is definitely smiling.'
