Lewis Capaldi pokes fun at himself after Who Wants To Be A Millionaire question

Lewis Capaldi has poked fun at himself after a \'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?\' contestant admitted she "didn\'t know who he was".

The 23-year-old singer took to Twitter to change his handle on the micro-blogging site to "i don\'t even know who lewis capaldi is (sic)" after game show contestant Clea Rawinsky admitted she hadn\'t ever heard of him during a question to win a potential £32,000.

Host Jeremy Clarkson asked: "Who recorded the UK number one album \'Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent?"

The options were: Robbie Williams, Billie Eilish, Stormzy, and Lewis Capaldi, which is the correct answer.

But a stumped Clea was left clueless after phoning a friend, who also didn\'t know the answer.

She admitted: "I don\'t even know who Lewis Capaldi is!"

Lewis responded to the situation by sharing a series of tweets and changing his handle.

Alongside a video of Clea\'s reaction, he wrote: "Me: wow can\'t believe we\'ve sold 1 million copies of my album in the U.K. this week, I\'ve made it!! Life: (sic)"

He then shared another tweet alongside the clip, and he added the caption: "Dark fruits twitter every time someone mentions my name (sic)"

Another message alongside the clip read: "Me when I\'m hungover and haven\'t showered on a flight and someone asks if I am who they think I am (sic)"

Followed by: "Me looking at myself in the mirror having an existential crisis after a weekend on the booze. (sic)"

The \'Someone You Loved\' hitmaker also joked he plans to bring out a line of merchandise following the funny TV moment.

He wrote: "I don\'t even know who Lewis Capaldi is\' merch coming in the next few days. (sic)"

Meanwhile, a \'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?\' contestant recently scooped the £1 million jackpot for the first time in 14 years.

Jeremy Clarkson admitted he was "in awe" of the lucky individual, who has not been named, after they won the £1 million prize on a pre-recorded episode of the show\'s new series.And he claimed they are "probably the best" contestant in the show\'s 22-year history. He said: "Well, I\'m absolutely thrilled and delighted that we\'ve found someone who seems to know just about everything.

"I can\'t wait for the viewers to see it and I want to watch it back too.

"I was just in awe of this contestant and think they are probably the best the show has ever had in its 22-year history. It was a joy to sit and watch it unfold."
