Lewis Capaldi has hit back after he was trolled for bringing a bottle of tonic wine onto the stage at the BRIT Awards

They wrote: "We have an unhealthy relationship with alcohol in Scotland. This doesn't help."

Lewis has now hit back at the tweet, insisting he was enjoying a beverage on his first night off "in months".

He tweeted: "imagine having a drink on my first night off in months after winning two Brit awards, can you believe it?! (sic)"

The 23-year-old star downed a drink after winning his first prize of the evening, New Artist of the Year, after the crowd at London's The O2 dared him to "down it".

He then said: "Thank you very f***ing much, see you in a bit goodnight."

And Lewis did see the crowd again shortly, as he returned to the stage with a bottle of Buckfast to collect the Song of the Year accolade for 'Someone You Loved'.

While addressing the audience, he revealed the tune is not about his ex-girlfriend, Paige Turley - who is currently on 'Love Island - and reiterated that the song is actually about his late grandmother.

He said: "My name is Lewis. Thanks very f***ing much. Contrary to many people thinking it's about my ex-girlfriend who you can now see every night on 'Love island', it's actually about my grandmother who sadly passed away a few years ago.

"I hope to God ITV don't contact her to be on a dating show.

"It's the best year of my life. Thanks to my mum and dad for making love and thanks to my grandmother for dying. Sorry. See you later."
