LEWIS Capaldi has seen the cost of revamping his “money pit” mansion soar to more than £1million.
The rising bill is on top of the £1.6million the singer, 28, forked out for the farmhouse in 2020.

Plans for an extension have already been approved
We told how he is due to splash £738,000 on an extension at his country home just outside Glasgow.
And paperwork submitted to planning chiefs has now revealed work on a triple garage and office is valued at £360,000.
That means a total for improvements of almost £1.1million.
But the final tab could be even higher after the Someone You Loved star put in proposals in March to build a music studio at the ten-acre estate.
A source said last night: “At this rate he’ll have spent more doing it up than he paid for it.
“He’s making the place his own and it should be a good investment in the long run.”
Details of the latest costs emerged in a building standards warrant for the garage submitted to East Renfrewshire Council.
Lewis got permission to build it last year but needs the warrant to be approved before work can begin.
He snapped up the rural property after fellow chart-topper Ed Sheeran scoured the internet looking for a place for him.
But after moving in, he complained it was a “hell hole” and “money pit”.
Lewis Capaldi struggles to continue during Glastonbury set during Tourette’s battle as audience step in to help during emotional moment
In an interview in 2023 Lewis joked: “If this album doesn’t go well I will have a real issue on my hands.”
The Scot, who has Tourette’s, took a break from performing since struggling at Glastonbury in 2023.
But he is said to be close to a return.
The council is still to rule on his studio plans.
