Joss Stone gives grandfather a huge treat
Published Tuesday, Jul 11 2006, 09:58 BST | By Daniel Kilkelly
Joss Stone splashed out nearly £100,000 this weekend to take her grandfather to the World Cup final.
The singer spent £95,000 to charter a private jet home from the Caribbean on Friday so that she could take Edwin Skillin to the big game in time. Tickets for herself, Edwin and three other family members cost a further £2,500.
"When Joss said she was taking him, he thought she was joking," a friend told The Mirror. "He couldn't believe his ears."
Stone had previously been enjoying a holiday with Lemar - though both deny that they are an item.
