The Shape of You singer was a guest on Heart Radio on Wednesday, promoting his new album Play.

While on the breakfast show hosted by Jamie Theakston and Amanda Holden, Sheeran was asked about his reported move to America ahead of his tour of the States.

The Framlingham-based singer rubbished claims that he was quitting the UK for a move across the Atlantic, saying he is a “Suffolk boy through and through”.

He added: “I have moved to America, but I’m not moving to America. This is the thing. Every tour, I live there, and I’ve done that since 2012, but no one’s cared up to this point.

“You know, I lived there in 2023, I lived there in 2013, I lived there in 2012. That has been a normal part of my career when I tour there.

“I have a family. I like my kids. I want to hang out with my kids! So, no, I’m not moving permanently.

“I’m very much a Suffolk boy through and through. I really enjoy going to Ipswich games. Like, I am British.”
