Niall Horan calls Lewis Capaldi a 'liar' after Netflix documentary claim

Niall Horan has called his close friend Lewis Capaldi a 'liar' over a claim he made in his critically acclaimed Netflix documentary which explored his declining mental health and his journey to discovering he has Tourette's syndrome.

Last month, Lewis, 26, released a feature-length documentary on Netflix entitled 'How I'm Feeling Now' and the project hit home with thousands of fans across the globe who tuned in to see the Scottish singer crumble amid the crippling pressures of creating a successful second album following the incredible triumph of his first record, Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent.

Following the acclaim Lewis has received over the inspiring and eye-opening documentary, his close friend and former One Direction star Niall, 29, has called the Scottish crooner a 'liar' as he poked fun at one of the confessions made during the project.

Speaking on Scott Mills’ Radio 2 show, the Slow Hands hit-maker opened up about Lewis' habits as he and radio host Scott found themselves in a conversation about laundry.

When quizzed on whether or not Lewis actually washes his own clothes - like he says in the documentary - Niall denied the claim and called Lewis a 'liar', insisting that he most certainly does not do his own laundry.

“He doesn’t do his own laundry. I spoke to his mother the other night. He’s a liar," the former One Direction star joked.

“He might have done it for the cameras. I swear to God, Carol [Lewis' mother] , I said to his mother the other day: ‘Does Lewis come into the house often or are you often at his flat in Glasgow?’ She says, ‘Yes, if he hands me the laundry.’”

Niall's confession comes after Lewis recently revealed that he had no idea how much his Tourettes and anxiety had been affecting him until he filmed his new Netflix documentary.

The Scottish hitmaker allowed camera crews to have unprecedented access to his life on stage and at home with his family for fans to get to know him on a more personal level.

Lewis may be used to the life of an A-list celebrity but he received widespread praise for being completely transparent about his struggles and how they affect him on a daily basis.

The singer has since spoken about his documentary as he explained: "I didn’t realise how much my anxiety and Tourette's was taking over my life until I watched [the footage] back."

He went on to tell The Independent: "When I saw the first draft, it was so depressing, I was surprised I didn't die at the end, I mean, there's always the sequel."

Lewis went public with his Tourettes diagnosis in 2022 in a bid to prevent people from thinking he was 'taking cocaine or something'.

The Mirror has reached out to Niall's representatives for comment.
