Forgotten Journal

Kate Nash and Ryan Jarman’s pillow talk must have the bed mites running for cover. The sweet singer has gone all tough since she started dating The Cribs star.

And during a boozy trip to the South By Southwest music festival in Austin, Texas, Kate threw beer over some “industry w*****s” who weren’t getting into Ryan’s set, hit out at desperate skinny celebs and aggressively insisted she deserved her victory over Leona Lewis as Best Female at the Brits last month. She has even written a punk song to release her new-found anger.

After a great SXSW show, Kate revealed: “I’ve just been hanging out with Ryan and watched The Cribs. There has been lots of sun and beer. He gets angry but I do too. I threw some beer over some of the crowd at The Cribs gig over here the other day. I thought it was going to be amazing – but I got there and the band were amazing but the crowd were s**t. It was just industry w*****s with their clipboards. I threw a beer and it went over all of these industry people and they got upset. And I was like, ‘Have you never had beer thrown over you at a gig before? It’s a Cribs gig.’ Some of my friends have broken bones at gigs. I went to a party and it was full of horrible stick-thin people. We did my new song in one live take. There are so many people in this industry who make you angry. It makes you want to scream.”

Kate Nash was told she could die if she didn’t have an operation on her heart.

The ‘Foundations’ singer suffered from tachycardia – a condition that speeds up heart rate and causes palpitations – and was told it could be fatal if she didn’t undergo risky surgery.

The 20-year-old star said: “I suffered from tachycardia, which gives you palpitations and chest pains. The doctors gave me the option of having a procedure to get it fixed, but there were risks. I put it off but then two years ago, it started happening every night, so I decided to go through with it. It could have been life-threatening. They told me the operation had loads of risks – strokes, heart attacks, pacemakers – but in the end I just thought, ‘Anything could happen.’ So I had the procedure and got it out of the way, thank God.”

Kate – who was named Best British Female at last month’s BRITs – says the illness increased her determination to make it big in the music industry.

She added: “I’m quite a driven person anyway but it really pushed me. All my friends were going to university or drama school and I could have moped around because I didn’t get a place. But I didn’t – I started playing live, making flyers, going to open-mic nights and emailing people.”
