Lewis Capaldi's older sister Danielle has hit out at critics who branded her parents "harsh" and "cruel" following the Scots singer's Netflix documentary. How I'm Feeling Now hit the streaming service on April 5, and was met with widespread praise from critics and fans.
The show saw Lewis give an intimate insight into his own life - as well as the life of his family. Lewis' parents, Mark and Carole, featured heavily in the doc, often seen discussing his mental health and shoulder twitch - prior to his Tourette's diagnosis.
While some fans were quick to label Lewis' parents harsh after watching the film, big sister Danielle, 30, insists that her mum and dad are "ordinary" parents from Scotland who want nothing but happiness for their talented son.
Sharing a photo of her and Lewis posing with their middle fingers up, Danielle penned a TikTok message to the people criticising her parents. She wrote in the caption: “When reading negative comments on parents.”
Teacher Danielle added: "Lewis’ documentary has had a lot of positive responses but unfortunately there will always be people who have to look for problems where there aren't any. If you don't get Scottish patter or parents who were worried about their son, don't comment."
Fans rushed to the comments to praise Danielle for backing her parents and supporting Lewis. One said: "Thought your mum & dad were amazing, so supportive of Lewis & everything he does!"
"I actually love the fact Lewis comes from a normal down to earth typical Scottish family that’s the first thing I said when I saw your parents! X," another added. A third said: "Love this! Your parents came across as loving and supportive. Obviously a strong family who are there for each other."

I mean, there’s always the sequel.”“When I have a panic attack, it feels like I’m going insane, completely disconnected from reality,” he tells the camera in the documentary. “I can’t breathe.

Musician and all-round funny man Lewis Capaldi has just dropped his highly anticipated new documentary on Netflix - How I’m Feeling Now. While the Some You Loved singer is known for his comedic timing, witty remarks, and generally hilarious personality, the feature-length special also focuses on a more personal side of his life, including his battles with anxiety, hypochondria, his recent Tourette’s diagnosis, plus a tour of his stunning Glasgow townhouse.

Mike Wass From serving drinks to passengers on a transatlantic flight to posing in his tighty-whities for a billboard, Lewis Capaldi’s reputation as music’s joker is hard-won. While the Scot’s wit and willingness to do just about anything for a laugh are on full display in his Netflix documentary, “How I’m Feeling Now,” Capaldi drops the mask long enough to share his Tourette’s diagnosis and struggle with imposter syndrome. A decision that weighed heavily. “I don’t know if you’re aware,” he deadpans, “but people are cunts.” Be that as it may, Capaldi forged ahead with the documentary. “I didn’t think I had a story that needed to be told,” he says, but director Joe Pearlman and his colleagues at Pulse Films saw it differently. The “Someone You Loved” hitmaker ultimately went along for the ride because he imagined the film as something of a victory lap. “I thought it was going to be triumphant,” he laughs. “But then COVID happened and they’re filming me sniffing my underpants.”
