We take a look back at Connected with some inside goss dished out. Another week, another soul crushed in the X Factor (or 8 souls in this case). We look at why Andrea is falling behind and who is set to win. For this week’s pick of the week we’ve chosen an eye opening program involving Bressie which airs tomorrow night on RTE 2. All that and much more, check it out!

Join us back here tomorrow for The Line-Up, your weekly event guide.

We never thought we’d see Ed Sheeran singing a duet with Wayne Rooney – in fact we never thought we’d come across them together at all.

The two were recorded singing Ed’s hit Lego House in a pub last month and the video has begun to gain a LOT of attention online.

Mainly because it’s Ed Sheeran…AND Wayne Rooney.

While Ed could be crooning to Jennifer Aniston or even Stevie Wonder if he so wished, here he is singing a song with Wayne.

Love that guy.

That Ed Sheeran is just an amazing individual, isn’t he?

The singer did the most wonderful thing for one of his biggest fan’s this week, by accepting an emotional ‘marriage proposal’ from her.

Katie Papworth, who has brain cancer and recently lost her sight, had her dream come true after meeting her idol ahead of his Glasgow show.

After asking if she could be ‘Mrs Sheeran’, she presented Ed with a ring, which the star was only too delighted to accept.

The singer also signed a picture of a Lego house that 19-year-old Katie previously drew him, writing: “Lady Katie! To finally meeting my wife! Lots of love.”

Their meeting comes after Ed sent a special video message to the teen during a recent trip to the States. In the touching video, Ed says that he is “sending a lot of love” to his super fan.

What a top guy.

It looks like Olly Murs has been feeling the heat since his comments about Taylor Swift’s songwriting hit headlines.

The X Factor star has now admitted that he has apologised for his comments, after Taylor appeared on radio calling speculation on her songwriting “sexist”.

Taylor was replying to questions regarding the men in her life that have inspired some of her most favourite songs: “That’s a very sexist angle to take. No one says that about Ed Sheeran, no one says that about Bruno Mars, they’re all writing songs about their exes … and no one raises a red flag there.”

See the moment at 5:36 in the video below:

Olly seems to feel that Taylor’s comments were aimed at him, as he has recently said: “I reached out to Taylor around two days ago. I gave her a letter and said, “I’m really sorry … It came out wrong. I’m sorry I didn’t mean to make any offence. It always came out that every article says Taylor writes songs and they always link it to Harry so I was just making a joke and defending my mate. But there’s one thing – I’m not and I’ve never been sexist. I don’t think that’s right.”

Hmm, who says Taylor was speaking to you directly, Olly?! Sounds like someone has a guilty conscious!

Oh Taylor, just when you think you can’t surprise us anymore, you tell us that you stalk your fans.

The singer, who is eagerly awaiting the release of her new album, 1989, was speaking to BBC America about her secret listening sessions, saying: “I would go online and would look at their Instagram pages, or their Twitter or their Tumblr or whatever and I just kind of watched them for months and months.”

We love how we can just imagine Taylor sitting in her room with Meredith and Olivia, watching Law & Order and stalking her fans – amazing. 

The singer was also forced to explain why her most recent single from the album, Out of the Woods, wasn't made available on iTunes UK, taking to her Tumblr account and writing: 

"To all my wonderful UK fans, I realise that you are not able to get ‘Out of the Woods’ due to a new strategy my record is working on it the UK. I’ve never been one to hold my music back from any of you so I will be watching closely to see of this is ultimately a better experience for you, the fans.”

Taylor went on to say that her bestie Ed Sheeran had done something similar: “My good friend Ed Sheeran utilised the same strategy with’One’ in the UK and he seemed very happy with the feedback from his fans. But ultimately, it’s down to you. Let me know.”

So he did only just grace us with his latest album, but we can't deny that we are devastated over this Ed Sheeran news.

The star has revealed that his next album probably won’t be out until 2016.

What?! But that’s two whole years that we’ll have to wait!

While this will come as sad news to Ed’s legion of fans around the world, his reasoning behind the delay is most certainly justified.

Speaking to The Sun, the 23-year-old star admitted that he has not had a break since before signing his record deal, and he’s looking forward to taking some well-deserved time off.

“I haven’t had any time off since before I signed my record deal, and I want some! I’ll do what I enjoy and it won’t feel like work,” he said.

The hard-working singer added that he won’t be bringing out a Christmas single for fear that it would be “overkill”, saying: “If my song came out next year or the year after, when I haven’t released anything for a while, it will be bigger.”

There is no doubt that Ed’s one of the most dedicated musicians out there, so we think we’ll leave him off this time around….but we’ll be counting down the days until the new record is released!

It seems the ultimate celeb love triangle is no more! 

It was widely believed that best buds Ed Sheeran and Niall Horan had fallen out big time over singer Ellie Goulding, but the lads have been doing their best to put the rumours to bed.

They were pictured sharing a cheeky smooch (all above board!) at the iHeartRadio festival in Las Vegas at the weekend – clearly a public effort to show there's no bad blood between them.

Far from giving each other the silent treatment, the pair looked like they were the life and soul of the party. Dancing on bars… they'd have none of that carry-on in Mullingar!

Niall also took to Twitter last week to make a point about unfounded rumours in the press:

Even though the two boys seem to be back on track now, it was definitely touch-and-go for a few weeks.

Ed has openly admitted that his song Don't was about a failed relationship which ended when the girl hooked up with one of his pals. Many believe the girl and friend in question are, of course, Ellie and Niall. 

"I was seeing someone for a bit, and then they ended up physically involved with one of my friends in the same hotel that we were staying in, while I was downstairs," Ed said in an interview. "And I feel like: 'Treat people how you want to be treated.'" 

The I See Fire singer said he was more angry than sad about the whole ordeal. "I didn't really come out of that situation upset. I was just pissed off. I just thought it was a bit disrespectful."

We're glad to see that Niall and Ed have patched things up… but we doubt Ed will be posing for a similarly lovey-dovey pic with Ellie any time soon!

Wow – this is amazing!

Ed Sheeran and Macklemore did a truly beautiful rendition of Same Love at this year's iHeartRadio and we cannot stop listening to it!

Incredible you guys, more collaboration please!

Hmm, it seems all of that speculation was true!

When Ed Sheeran released his hit single, Don’t, everyone guessed it was about Ellie Goulding…but what about the other guy involved?

With Ed more or less admitting to Howard Stern that it was a member of One Direction, we can all cast our memories back to a time when Ellie was rumoured to be dating none other than Niall Horan!

While the fling may have been short lived between the two – it seems it may have happened around the time Ed was with Ellie. Poor Ed!

Although Ed didn’t admit that the guy in the song is Niall, he did basically admit it was a member of One Direction. When asked by Howard while discussing Don’t: “It was a One Direction guy, right?” Ed answers: “Well it depends which one you’re talking about.”

Ooh, mysterious.

Ed also went on to describe how he was friends with the person involved, and as we all know he is/was besties with all of the One D lads: “I just thought it was a bit disrespectful … It’s a difficult conversation to have … He was my mate so I was just a bit like, ‘Um not cool.’”

Not cool at all, Niall!

Thankfully, Ed and Ellie are now loved up…not together obviously! 

Ed is rumoured to be seeing Jamie Oliver employee, Athina Andrelos while Ellie is dating McFly's Dougie Poynter. 

We hope the lads have patched it up now, though Ed still talking about it doesn't exactly scream forgiveness, does it?!

Hilary Duff has left fans upset and disappointed after she announced her first album in seven years has been delayed. 

The All About You singer took to Twitter to announce the news, writing: “Guys hate to break this news but the album won’t be out in October… You will have to wait a few more months. Love all the excitement tho.”

Judging by the reaction the news got, Hilary has some very loyal fans out there who are just dying to hear her new music!

The news comes after her new single, Chasing the Sun, was released back in July, giving her fans a taste of what is to come.

Ed Sheeran has also been deeply involved in the album, which has us sold already!

The British singer says that Hilary’s upcoming album is “not what they will expect” going on to say that she has definitely left the Lizzie McGuire days behind: “Obviously she comes from Lizzie McGuire and that pop world, but she’s more grown up now, so it’s more of an adult alternative acoustic sound.”

All of this hype is getting us more excited than we ever thought we would be…!

Ooh, there is going to be a lot of angry Ed Sheeran fans out there after this!

Miley’s MTV VMA Awards appearance was not quite as controversial as last year and she managed to keep her tongue inside her mouth all night, but did hit the headlines for two reasons.

First, there was the amazing thing she did for a struggling homeless man, Jesse.

When it was announced she had won the VMA for Video of the Year for Wrecking Ball, instead of going up on stage herself, she sent Jesse up in her place.

Jesse delivered a moving speech about the struggle for homeless people in Los Angeles while Miley looked on in tears.

This really made a change to the impression she made at last year's VMA when she twerked on stage with Robin Thicke (remember him?) 

The second thing? Oh, she called Ed Sheeran an a**hole.

Don’t believe us? Here’s the proof, in GIF form.

He’s possibly the nicest guy in showbiz – could it be the Taylor thing?

Or, it could also be that time Ed slightly dissed her, saying: “It’s a stripper’s move. If I had a daughter of nine, I wouldn’t want her twerking.”

Ed later apologised for his comments: “Something said in jest when I was drunk is being misquoted now, just wanna make it clear I genuinely like mileys music a lot.”

Not so sure she accepted your apology, Ed…!

By the sound of his lyrics, Ed Sheeran has had a pretty rough time of it when it comes to love.

But now, the singer looks as if he’s struck gold with a gorgeous new girlfriend!

Ed apparently met Athina Andrelos met while the pair were on the road.

At the time, she was managing another band but is now working with food stylists.

The new couple were snapped having lots of fun in the sun on a yacht in Ibiza this week.

Aw we’re so happy for Ed!
