First Home and Away, now MTV… Ed Sheeran is making his mark in the world of television.

The Thinking Out Loud singer has confirmed he'll be presenting the 2015 MTV Europe Music Awards later this month in Milan – a pretty prestigious gig for someone who's just starting out.

 

So happy to say I’m hosting the #MTVEMAs on 25th October! Cannot wait. mtvema.com

With four EMA nominations himself this year for X, Ed might have to do some juggling between presenting and accepting, but luckily he'll have a co-presenter to take the heat off him.

The English star will be joined on stage in Milan by none other than Orange Is The New Black's Ruby Rose.

Not the first person we'd have paired with him (surely his new bestie Beyoncé should have had a look in?) but all the same, we're sure they'll be a good match.

Ruby announced the news via Twitter last night, posting a pretty bizarre snap of herself and Ed surrounded by butterflies, flaming roses and a rabbit with a gas mask. Standard.

Previous MTV EMA presenters include Eva Longoria, Selena Gomez, Heidi Klum, RedFoo and Nick Minaj – wonder if Ed has a costume like this planned?

We'll have to wait and see on October 25…

One of our favourite people in the WORLD has joined Snapchat!

Ed Sheeran took to his Instagram account last night to share the news that he is now using the social media site. 

He posted a picture of his Snapcode along with the caption, "Take a picture of this on snapchat and it lets you follow me. How exciting". 

If the code isn't working for you, you can add Ed by his username: teddysdaytoday.

If his IG and Twitter accounts are anything to go by, we reckon he will be sharing some very cool pictures, full of funny quotes and backstage shenanigans. 

The IG photo already has 95,000 likes, so we're guessing Ed's Snapchat has probably crashed by now but we're really looking forward to seeing what his first snap will be!

If it's anything like this one, we'll be quite happy.

We bet Ed Sheeran didn't expect this when he opened a letter from an adoring fan. 

The 24-year-old singer bravely posted a handwritten note on Instagram which he received from a Korean fan during the latest leg of his world tour. 

The fan's note, which was accompanied with a t-shirt, read: "To Ed Sheeran (my great singer), I hope you love the shirt."

All is going well, until it continued with: "You are a little ugly but I love you!"

"Please wear this shirt and get some 2015 concert tour! From Lee Jaung In (your fan)."

A little bizarre yes, but Ed's trusty fans rushed to his side, giving him many words of wisdom.

"You are a beautiful soul", one user wrote, while many others called him "cute". 

Upon further inspection, it also transpires that the letter was actually written and delivered some six months ago, but it seems to be witnessing something of an online resurgence again – much to Mr Sheeran's amusement, we're sure.

They married a month ago in a luxurious three-day celebration, and although the pair have only just recently returned from their luxurious honeymoon – evidently Ronan and Storm Keating are in the mood for yet more celebrations.

The duo late last night took to their respective Instagram accounts to share further snaps from their Big Day, which took place at the five-star Archerfield House & Golf Resort near Edinburgh.

One particular pic shows Ronan, 38, and Storm, 34, at the back of a photobooth: she's holding a small guitar, while he can be seen with a layer of cream napkins on his head.

Crowded in around them is Ed Sheeran, who performed at the reception bash, as well as Brian McFadden (who dons a swimming cap) and Ali, Ronan's 10-year-old daughter from his first marriage to Yvonne Connolly.

For the ceremony, Aussie-native Storm had worn a bespoke Chantilly lace Steven Khalil dress embroidered with silk and organza petals.

And one of her snaps from last night also reveals her bespoke Upper Street ribbon-adorned sandals – which perfectly complemented her gorgeous gown. 

And proving it was very much a family affair, both the bride and groom posted touching photographs of them with members of the extended Keating clan. 

Ronan can be seen lining out with his wedding party – including teenage son, Jack. Meanwhile, Mrs Keating shared an image of her partying with her new sisters-in-law. 

As well as Jack's involvement, his daughters Missy, 14, and Ali were Maid Of Honour and flower girl respectively.

Even the family's pet pug, Aussie, got in on the action: she was ring-bearer and trotted along a petal-strewn aisle with the wedding rings tied around her neck.

In a previous interview with HELLO! the former Boyzone singer had explained how he persuaded Mr Sheeran to perform at the celebration: "Ed's a good friend and Thinking Out Loud is one of mine and Storm's songs," he revealed.

Following McDreamy’s exit from Grey’s Anatomy, it seems that Patrick Dempsey can’t quite shake the love of romantic ‘dramedy’ type projects just yet.

Deadline reports that the actor is in final negotiations to join the cast of Bridget Jones’s Baby.

The much-anticipated third installment of the franchise will see Renee Zellweger reprise her role as the unlucky and general mishap prone publishing executive. As Bridget enters her 40s, she finds herself unexpectedly expecting.

Most other plot details are being kept quiet and Patrick’s role has not yet been identified. The father of Bridget’s baby is also unknown, for now.

Seeing as Colin Firth will be returning to play love interest Mark Darcy, we know of at least two possible fathers to be named by the end of the film.

While Hugh Grant will not be returning, Sharon Maguire, who directed the original Bridget Jones will be back at the helm this time around.

The story is believed to be based on columns written by the creator of the series Helen Fielding, not her latest novel Mad About The Boy.

This latest addition to the franchise is shaping up to be quite star packed. This summer the news came that Ed Sheeran would also be featuring in the film. He is not going to be another of Bridget’s possible love interests however, although who knows.

Instead it was announced that Ed Sheeran’s hugely successful Croke Park gigs would be featured in the film. The Irish Sun reported that scenes were shot using Renée’s body double sitting on a mystery man’s shoulder.

Just who could the mystery man be we wonder.

For someone who recently said that his love life was non-existent, Ed Sheeran certainly knows how to keep the rumour mill hopping.

Of late he was linked with none other than former Pussycat Dolls singer Nicole Scherzinger, although that was believed to be an untrue claim.

However, if certain media outlets are to be believed, Ed has moved on quite quickly. Over the last number of weeks he has been spotted spending a lot of time with former classmate Cherry Seaborn.

The two have been spotted at a baseball game between the Philadelphia Phillies and the New York Mets.

The duo were also seen out and about in NYC before Ed makes an appearance in Houston, Texas later this week as part of his X tour.

According to the Mirror, the pair both attended Thomas Mills High School together in Suffolk. Apparently they have reconnected in recent weeks as the two have been swapping tweets for a while now.

Cherry is currently living in New York. She attended Duke University after relocating to the states in 2013.

She is also a talented hockey player as she has a bronze medal from the European Championships from 2012 and in 2012 and 2013 she led her team to victory at the British University Championships.

It is believed that at the moment she is working as an Advisory Consultant at Deloitte & Touche LLp in NYC.

In what has to be the most short-lived 'rumoured relationship' of all time, Ed Sheeran and Nicole Scherzinger have reportedly called off their burgeoning romance.

The pair apparently went on a series of dates over the last couple of months, growing close after Nicole confessed that Ed's music had helped her get over her seven-year relationship with Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton.

Unfortunately it seems the 13-year age gap between Ed and Nicole apparently got in the way of a serious relationship, with a friend saying the fling is now "old news."

Whispers of a flirty romance began back in July when the Ed invited the Pussycat Dolls singer to watch his Wembley Stadium show from side stage. The pair even posed together for an Instagram snap that night, which Nicole posted with the caption, "Okay okay you win @edsheeran, you’re taller."

Two weeks later Nicole made her own subtle advance while performing at a gig in Hollywood, openly dedicating a song in her set to the singer. And of course who can forget their Suffolk pub date in Ed's local watering hole, The Station Hotel?

Speaking to The Sun earlier this month, a friend of Ed's said the pair were pretty much an item despite keeping their romance under wraps. "As far as he’s concerned they're in the early stages of dating and he’s been open about it with close friends and colleagues. It may not develop beyond those dates but they’re definitely tight."

Despite their ill-fated romance, the pair reportedly remain on "good terms." Phew!

First Ronan Keating, now Courteney Cox… Ed Sheeran could have a new career as a wedding singer in the pipeline.

The Thinking Out Loud hitmaker will reportedly perform at the wedding of Courteney and Snow Patrol rocker Johnny McDaid, at the couple's request.

Courtney, 51, revealed during the week that Ed will serenade her Johnny on their wedding day, which seems fitting considering Mr. Sheeran actually introduced the couple back in 2013.

“We are certainly grateful to Ed for introducing us,” she told The Sun.

“I can’t imagine him not playing something at the wedding. It’ll be a musical night.” 

Oh to be a fly on the wall!

We've no doubt that it will be an extremely musical night as we're sure Johnny's Snow Patrol band mates will perform a song or two. 

And Irish band Kodaline might even pop in for a sing-song after Johnny, 39, recently co-wrote their new song and Courteney directed their new music video.

As for the venue, the pair are likely  to marry on Irish soil in the lavish surroundings of Ashford Castle in Cong, Co. Mayo. Courtney was reportedly very taken with the venue when the couple visited earlier this year.

There is also going to be a special performance from Courteney's 11-year-old daughter Coco.

“She’s actually really, really talented,” Courteney said.

“Coco sang a song for the film I directed called Just Before I Go and she’s amazing."

It definitely sounds like it will be a night to remember… With Ed, Snow Patrol, Kodaline and probably half the cast of Friends attending the wedding, we think we need a one-stop train ticket to Mayo very soon.

Ed Sheeran has been teasing news of his new record label for months now, and it was finally launched yesterday.

The first artist to be signed by Gingerbread Man Records is English singer-songwriter Jamie Lawson, and it seems like Ed is definitely on to something special. Irish fans will know Jamie for his 2011 single, Wasn't Expecting That, a highly emotional song about a man looking back on many beautiful memories with his wife after she is diagnosed with cancer.

Jamie's single only ever had an Irish release, but this year it was re-launched, and has had great commercial success in the UK, Australia and New Zealand.

The singer has supported Ed on stage during his X World Tour, giving fans a taster of what they can expect from his album, Jamie Lawson, set to be released on October 9th.

Today Ed announced the release of the official video for Wasn't Expecting That, and it has us reaching for the tissues. Take a look:

We reckon Gingerbread Man Records (and Jamie) are going to do very well indeed.

A few weeks ago, Ed Sheeran shared a picture of his chest with us with a huge lion tattoo on display. 

Fans were not impressed with the ink and it quickly earned him a spot on many lists of the worst celebrity tattoos. 

But was it all just a joke? Today, Ed posted a photo to Instagram saying "was only joking about the lion" accompanied by a picture of his bare lion-less chest.

A lot of his followers have expressed their relief at the fact that the tattoo has vanished, but others are questioning whether he just covered it up with make up as his chest looks a bit on the shiny side. 

The Thinking Out Loud singer posted a photo of his chest with the caption "halfway and ouch" just two weeks ago but it seems he was just trying to fool his fans. 

Ed is already covered in other tattoos including a Heinz Ketchup logo, a lego head, a teddy bear and a paw print.

While touring Australia back in March, Ed Sheeran made a stop at  the Home and Away set in Sydney to film with the cast, and now his cameo scenes are set to premiere.

At the time all details of the singer's appearance on the popular Aussie drama were kept under wraps, with producers confirming only that Ed would play himself. Now we've finally been blessed with the details and it sounds like Ed's episode will make for brilliant viewing.

The Thinking Out Loud singer will apparently make a visit to Summer Bay to visit his old nanny, Marilyn Chambers, played by long-standing cast member Emily Symons.

When Marilyn tells residents that her darling 'Teddy' is coming to see her, nobody is any the wiser… until Ed himself shows up and treats the town to a surprise performance in The Diner. 

While Ed's cameo is set to air on Australian TV in the next week or two, the fact that Ireland and the UK are at least a month behind on episodes means that we may have to wait a while to watch it on this side of the world.

Taking time out from a hectic touring schedule to film on set was a no-brainer for Ed, who says he grew up with Home and Away. "It's an Australian institution. It's always on in my local chip shop," he said.

"I got asked to do it and it sounded like it could be fun. I did Shortland Street in New Zealand as well and I'm sure if Emmerdale or EastEnders ever ask me in England I would do that as well." 

Cast member Alec Snow, who plays Matt Page in the long-running soap, said the singer was extremely easy to work with and "a really down-to-earth, nice guy that genuinely wanted to be there."

First stop Summer Bay, next stop Fair City's Carrigstown? We could definitely see Ed sitting down to a pint in McCoy's…

It was the celebrity wedding of the summer: Boyzone star Ronan Keating married TV producer Storm Uechtritz in a glittering four-day celebration in Scotland.

And now the first snaps of their Big Day have emerged – with all eyes being on the 34-year-old bride's stunning dress.

The Aussie-native wore a bespoke Chantilly lace dress embroidered with silk and organza petals. Created by designer Steven Khalil, also an Australian, rather than being stark white the gown sports a soft, warm hue. 

With the likes of Shane Lynch, Keith Duffy and Mikey Graham, as well as Dannii Minogue and Brian McFadden all in attendance, the star-factor was always going to be high.

But even Storm herself was uncharacteristically mute when none-other than Ed Sheeran came on to perform during their reception. 

In an tell-all interview with HELLO! magazine, which exclusively covered the event, Ronan reveals: "Ed's a good friend and Thinking Out Loud is one of mine and Storm's songs.

"When we all caught up in New York City a couple of months ago, I sounded him out about doing it and he didn't hesitate. I was blown away. He is the most grounded, decent guy in the business and what a talent.

"Storm was speechless when Ed appeared. That doesn't happen often!"

Still, the new Mrs Keating had a surprise of her own for the groom: a customised Land Rover Defender which she presented to him immediately after they said their vows.

Ronan describes the car as "the best present ever".

"I've had a couple of them over the years," he states, "but nothing like this one. She has customised it exactly how I would have done it myself – she knows me so well."

Meanwhile, and away from the trappings of a high-profile celebrity wedding, this was very much a family affair – much like the couple's stag and hen dos

In fact, Ronan's son Jack, 16, was best man at the open-air ceremony, while daughters Missy, 14, and nine-year-old Ali were Maid Of Honour and flower girl respectively.

Even the family's pet pug, Aussie, got in on the action: she was ring-bearer and trotted along a petal-strewn aisle with the wedding rings tied around her neck.

"It was a perfect day. We always wanted the wedding party to be just us and the kids," Ronan, 38, also tells HELLO! "It's so special for me that Storm would want the girls to be by her side.

"I'm so proud and honoured. It means the world."

Ronan goes on to tell how he believes his late bandmate, Stephen Gately, who died in 2009, had a hand in ensuring they were basked in sunshine for the entire celebration.

"I know that my Mam, Steo and Storm's granddad had a hand in making sure the weather was perfect – the one thing that was out of our hands."

You can find out more about Ronan and Storm's wedding day at hellomagazine.com and you can read the full interview with lots more pictures in this week's edition of HELLO! which is out tomorrow. It's also available to download tomorrow via iPad, Android, and Kindle fire.
