Ed Sheeran has "24-hour security" guarding his family because there are "lots of dangerous people out there".
The pop star has insisted on tough security measures at his expansive property in Suffolk - where he lives with his wife Cherry and their two daughters - as well as bodyguards when they are all out and about because a "couple of weird things" have happened over the years including an attempted break-in.
During an appearance on 'The Louis Theroux Podcast', Ed explained: "I do think that there is a different kind of normal that is our business. I have like 24-hour security on my house. I have security with my kids.
"I have security with me. I have security with my wife, just because there have been a couple of weird things over the years that have happened.'
Just so you know there's lots of dangerous people out there. We've had like you know a break-in attempt.
"In my industry, that's normal. That's kind of like an underlying thing that no one really talks about, but that is kind of a part of being in the public eye."

Ed and Cherry are parents to Lyra, four, and Jupiter, two, and the singer is determined to stop his kids being photographed because he wants to protect their privacy for as long as possible.
He added: "I'm very, very private about my children's image ... I can't take them to zoos or parks or anything really without someone trying to film them. "There are times where the normal parts of life I kind of mourn for and wish I could push my kid on a swing in a public park and it not be weird, you know?"
Ed pointed out that his kids "have not signed up" to the pitfalls of fame and success.
The Perfect hitmaker explained: "People go, well that's the trade-off. But my kids have not signed up to that."
The singer went on to insist that he prefers to take commercial flights rather than hide away on private jets but it can lead to problems.
He explained: "We're flying back on Ryanair from a gig in Italy last year but all of my fans who'd been at the gig were flying back!

"I like the environment, I like trees. I'd find it hard to justify. No one's perfect. When we're doing intense promo trips, there will be the odd time [taking a private jet]."

Ginger Grant actress Tina Louise is still the embodiment of glamour to this day. The iconic sitcom star played movie legend Ginger on Gilligan's Island from 1964 to 1967. Set on a deserted island, she starred on the show about a colourful group of shipwrecked tourists. Read more CAREER HIGH How Nicole Scherzinger went from Pussycat Dolls spat to a bigger star than ever The Hollywood pinup was known for her stunning figure and red hot hair. The Golden Globe-winning actress starred in the 1958 movie God's Little Acre and bagged the award for New Star Of The Year. The star has been spotted in New York City's Upper East Side and still wows with her svelte figure and chic appearance. Wearing skinny jeans, a black top and jacket, she accessorised with black trainers and dramatic dark shades. With her shoulder-length red hair still on display, the actress looked fit and healthy as she casually ran errands around Manhattan carrying a brolly and floral shopping bag. Tina, who starred alongside Russell Johnson, Dawn Wells, Bob Denver, Jim Backus, Natalie Schafer and Alan Hale, Jr, is the last surviving Gilligan's Island star. Tina Louise plays Ginger Grant on Gilligan's Island The programme ran for three seasons and went onto make the 1977 movie Rescue From Gilligan's Island and The Harlem Globetrotters On Gilligan's Island. However, Tina turned down the roles alongside her original cast members. She starred in classics including The Trap, The Hangman, Day Of The Outlaw and For Those Who Think Young. Not forgetting The Wrecking Crew, The Happy Ending, The Stepford Wives and alongside Stephen Baldwin, Burt Young, and Joseph D'Onofrio in 2017's Tapestry. The former Ginger Grant star said previously about playing the role: 'I always enjoyed my work. I left a Broadway show to do it. "The CBS casting director Ethel Winant called me at the theater, 'Do you think you could play this Lucille Ball/Marilyn Monroe-type of character?' I said yes. "I got there and the director wanted it to be a more sarcastic kind of character. And so, then I didn't even want to work on it anymore. I told him I wanted to quit. "The head of the [CBS] organization called me into his office and he said, 'We hear you want to leave.' I explained to him that I didn't want to play it and I didn't think the show would be successful, changing the original idea of the character." She continued: "You just can't go into people's homes and dress somebody up like a doll and then have her to be not nice. "So, he agreed with me and he got rid of the director after only a month, and he hired Richard Donner, who was fantastic. "He had a great sense of humor and then the writers started writing for what I was supposed to be doing and the show became a hit, and I enjoyed the part.' The actress became a tutor in 1996. She revealed in her memoir about her difficult childhood: "I didn't have hugs. I didn't have loving situations." She previously told fans: "I've been having fun doing press about my audiobook for the re-release of Sunday, my memoir written from my perspective as an 8-year-old. "It's really quite freeing and therapeutic to talk about it. The book is out now in various forms." 6 She enjoyed a rare day out in LA Credit: BackGrid 6 The cast of Gilligan's Island which ran from 1964 to 1967

Meet Jackie Apostel, Cruz Beckham's Much Older Girlfriend
When you enter into a family as famous as the Beckhams – comprised of David and Victoria Beckham and their four children, Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper Seven – then you also enter a world of fame, fortune and unending attention. Brooklyn's wife of three years, Nicola Peltz Beckham, knows this all too well. As does Cruz's girlfriend, Jackie Apostel. The latter has garnered particular attention because of the couple's age gap. Cruz is 19 years old, a decade younger than Jackie, who is 29. So who is Jackie? And how did she meet Posh and Becks' youngest son? Read on to find out more. Cruz Beckham and Jackie Apostel at Paris Fashion Week in March 2025. (Photo by) Jackie is a songwriter with German and Brazilian parents. She is currently living in London and working on new music. She released her EP, The Reformation , in 2020, but announced in an Instagram post two years later that she would no longer be releasing music as an artist. Instead, Jackie wished to focus solely on songwriting and producing. 'My intention was and has never been to become a recording, touring artist,' she wrote. 'I'm a studio rat, I'm a creator, I'm a writer, a producer and an artist in many ways, but releasing the songs we did myself was always just a way of showcasing the tracks.' There is a 10 year age gap between Cruz Beckham and his girlfriend Jackie. It's not clear exactly how the duo first met, but they were first spotted together at Glastonbury festival in June 2024.

(Photo: Getty) Jackie and Cruz have been dating for a year and have already travelled the world together, collaborated in the studio and attended Victoria Beckham fashion shows and several infamous Beckham parties. They confirmed their relationship in October when Cruz publicly wished Jackie a happy birthday on his Instagram Stories. The couple regularly tag each other in mirror selfies and photos from their everyday lives. In January 2025, Cruz shared multiple photos with Jackie in Brazil and captioned it, 'So 2025 is going to be good, right? ❤️.' Jackie Apostel and Cruz Beckham in April 2025.

In June, Jackie shared a framed photo of her and Cruz alongside a series of other images and videos of him captioned 'a good year' to mark their anniversary. Meanwhile Cruz wrote '1 year down, plenty to go'. Cruz's older brother Brooklyn, 26, has been married to Nicola Peltz, 30, since April 2022 and they live together in LA. Meanwhile, Romeo, 22, has recently split from his girlfriend of seven months, Kim Turnbull, reportedly due to their busy schedules. Prior to this relationship, he was with model and influencer Mia Regan for five years. Nikki Peach is a writer at Grazia UK, working across entertainment, TV and news.

Ray Winstone wanted to 'knock out' Hollywood icon for being 'rude' to his wife
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info British film icon Ray Winstone didn't shy away from expressing his desire to "knock out" Hollywood legend Jack Nicholson after a rude encounter with his wife. Ray, a beloved stalwart of British cinema with acclaimed roles in films like Sexy Beast, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, and King of Thieves, has had an illustrious career, mingling with some of Hollywood's finest. Despite the glittering array of awards and prestigious company, Ray revealed on the Things We Like podcast with hosts Eamonn Holmes and Paul Coyte, at the age of 68, he still harbours negative feelings towards Jack Nicholson. READ MORE - Six countries offering Brits cash, free homes and baby bonuses to move there READ MORE - Fears for Westlife icon as he suddenly pulls out of 25-year celebrations He has previously touched upon his frosty relationship with The Shining star, but Ray delved deeper into their past issues during the podcast, stating, "We just didn't get on, you know. I just found him... Listen, he's getting older, and maybe he has lots of things going on with him. I didn't like him." He candidly continued: "I thought he was so far up his own a*s, it was unbelievable. And, you know, he was very rude - he was very rude to me; he was rude to my wife.", reports the Mirror. Furthermore, he added: "If he had been a younger man, I definitely would have knocked him out, you know." These comments are not the first time Ray has spoken openly about his unfavourable opinion on Jack.

Benett, WireImagevia Getty Images) Back in 2014, during a BAFTA Life in Pictures event post their stint in the star-studded cast of The Departed, Ray didn't mince words about Jack Nicholson, plainly admitting that they "didn't get on too well." While Ray's forthrightness might have put Jack in the hot seat, this legendary figure, now 88, has earned acclaim from other luminaries in the field. Recollecting their time together on The Bucket List (2007), Morgan Freeman told IMDb: "I think we all have a private bucket list. It may not be written down, but I'm constantly checking them off. I just checked off Jack Nicholson. Every day was a holiday because I've been praying at the temple of Jack ever since Five Easy Pieces." Jack's towering status in the film industry is exemplified by his roles in epochal movies such as The Shining, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, and Broadcast News. His sterling acts have secured him a spot in an exclusive circle; Jack stands among a mere six actors to have clinched three Academy Awards.
