Ed Sheeran is a "Little Mix fan girl"

He admitted: "Can I say that was the one concert I went to last year, I didn't go to any gigs and I was in Milan and I'm a Little Mix fan girl.

I saw a really funny meme on The Lad Bible from a bloke who had tweeted me and said, 'Little Mix need to stop releasing songs before I go to their concert' because they have so many bangers."

And the 26-year-old star insists he isn't the only guy who is a big fan of the quartet and their catchy songs.

He said: "Who isn't [a secret Little Mixer]? I rarely meet boys now who don't like Little Mix, they just have hit upon hit, there's not a song that comes out that I'm not like, 'Oh, that's gonna be in my head for a month now.' They're always on point [live]."

Ed performed a version of the group's 'Touch' in BBC Radio One's Live Lounge, and after Little Mix - comprised of Perrie Edwards, Jesy Nelson, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Jade Thirlwall - tweeted to say they were looking forward to hearing the track, he hoped it did the song justice.

He said after singing the song: "I hope [they enjoyed it]."

During his five-song set on Clara Amfo's show, Ed also performed his 2014 single 'Thinking Out Loud' and revealed he's often in demand as a wedding singer because of the track.

He said: "I've done a few weddings with that but there's a song on the last album called 'Tenerife Sea' that I've been asked to do more for weddings, I think because it wasn't on radio so it's a bit more left of centre."
