ED SHEERAN wears a wedding dress and fools around opposite Rupert Grint in his hilarious new video for his song A Little More.

The video came out last night and is a sequel to 2011's Lego House in which Harry Potter actor Rupert played an obsessive fan.
This time he comes out of jail and sees Ed everywhere he goes – with his bride, played by Game Of Thrones star Nathalie Emmanuel, even morphing into the singer.
However, in the striking track, which is the best so far from his upcoming album Play, he sings: 'You think I was born to ruin your life, but you did most of that before I arrived.'
In the chorus, he continues: 'I used to love you, now every day I hate you just a little more.
"Life got better when I lost you. But every day I hate you just a little more and more and more.
"Blame it on your history and say it's not your fault. I can't call you crazy 'cause you could be diagnosed.'
And in another dig in the second verse, he sings: 'I wish that you would look in the mirror 'cause, if you did, you'd see the problem is you, 'cause you're a p***k.'
I have my theories on who it could be about, although I'll keep schtum for now.
But I'm sure plenty of fans will be trying to connect the dots to work out who the subject of this savage song is.
Fairy good, Roan

She's got the magic touch with her tunes and Chappell Roan looked equally fantastical in this outfit.
Ed Sheeran plays secret set in Wexford pub
The US singer had fairy vibes in a custom green bodysuit decorated with wings as she headlined Oya Festival in Norway on Wednesday.
She is fighting for No1 in the charts today with her new single The Subway, which was in the lead earlier in the week.
Everyone I know who's seen her this summer says she's on top form. And us Brits will have the chance to see for ourselves when she headlines Reading and Leeds Festival in a fortnight.
Her fabulous costumes almost make up for the fact she says we'll have to wait five years for her next album.
Selena Gomez has the Jonas Brothers to thank for her friendship with Taylor Swift.
She said: 'I dated Nick and she dated Joe. It was cute.
I was about 15, she was about 18 and that's when it was the crazy curly Taylor, and she had all these bracelets … it was really sweet.'
Selena told the Therapuss podcast she and Taylor 'like to say the best things [they] got out of those relationships was each other.'
They each split up in 2008 but 'became best friends [and] bonded over the break-up, as girls do.'
Hitched Charli so XCXited

Charli XCX was in a cheery mood – and outfit – as she performed her first show since becoming a married woman.
She wore a rubbery yellow bra top and pants with knee-length black boots to headline Sziget Festival in Budapest on Wednesday.
And she is clearly still on cloud nine because she shouted about her nuptials to the 1975's George Daniel while performing her track Everything Is Romantic, which was written about him.
She told the crowd: 'I'm so f*ing in love 'cause I just got married, b**!'
Charli, who has five nods for next month's MTV VMAs this week, is now booked and busy, as she was back on stage in Norway last night (Thurs) ahead of a gig in Sweden tonight (Fri).
The Guess singer will soon be jetting off for a second wedding celebration in Sicily though, so I'm sure all these gigs will help cover what is bound to be an eye-watering bar tab.
It's Cyrus with Liz and Billy

Billy Ray Cyrus is so inspired by girlfriend Liz Hurley, he's been making sweet music all about her.
The US singer has been working on new tunes in the studio in West London, while visiting the UK to see actress Liz this week.
Achy Breaky Heart star Billy, who revealed at Easter that he is romancing Liz, has been at Eastcote Studios where Arctic Monkeys, Kaiser Chiefs and Tom Jones have all recorded.
His last album, in 2019, failed to chart on either side of the Atlantic, but dating Liz may win him more fans.
He was by her side this week for the press launch of her new Channel 4 reality show The Inheritance.
I'll bet that she pops up on his next record.

Kelly Clarkson has cancelled the remaining dates of her Las Vegas residency and rearranged them for next year.
The Stronger singer has angered many fans with the move, but insisted it was vital as her ex-husband, the dad of her kids, is seriously ill.
Kelly, who had two kids with music manager Brandon Blackstock and was married to him from 2013 to 2022, issued this statement:
'While I normally keep my personal life private, this past year, my children's father has been ill and at this moment, I need to be fully present for them.
I am sincerely sorry to everyone who bought tickets to the shows and I so appreciate your grace, kindness and understanding.'

Love is in the air for Matt Healy – and his brother too.
The 1975 frontman Matt is preparing to marry US model Gabbriette Bechtel later this year – and now his younger sibling, actor Louis, has struck up a romance of his own.
I'm told he is dating rising star Edie Wright, who features with him in West End show Stranger Things: The First Shadow.
A pal told me: 'There's real chemistry between Louis and Edie. Louis doesn't stop smiling when Edie is around.
Louis' actor parents Tim Healy and Denise Welch are also fans of Edie and she gets on like a house on fire with Matt and Gabbriette.'
In the hit show now playing at the Phoenix Theatre, Louis takes on the role of troubled teen Henry Creel who later becomes villainous Vecna and is played in the Netflix show by Jamie Campbell Bower.
Edie portrays Karen Childress, a high-school student, and is also understudy for the role of Joyce Byers, played by Winona Ryder in the hit telly series.
It might still be early days for Louis and Edie, but if I was Denise I might consider buying another hat in the near future.
They do say weddings breed weddings.
Pop start had Tyla in tears
Tyla has told how she secretly sobbed in the early years of her career, over being pressured into making bubblegum pop.
The Water singer recalled: '[Those songs] didn't feel like me at all. I remember being in my hotel room and my managers were calling me: 'Come down, we need to cut the song.' I was crying and thinking, 'This is not what I want. I didn't get signed to do this.''
Tyla, who released her brilliant WWP EP earlier this month, told Variety: 'They had to [coax] me out of that room. But through doing that, I realised how much more I love African music. It made me more persistent in keeping my ideas.'
Jojo has grasp of the rasp

JOJO SIWA has used her new song Raspy to hit back at her haters.
The former child star tries her hand at rapping in the explosive track, which sees her reference a number of her viral moments.
The internet can be a cruel place at times but luckily JoJo appears to have taken it all in her stride.
On the track, she raps: 'Say what, go ahead, try to insult me, I'm so game. All Press is good Press. Hey JoJo, you're a mess.'
Prior to dropping Raspy, the Celebrity Big Brother star released a cover of Bette Davis Eyes by Kim Carnes.
The song topped the UK iTunes pop chart, but divided fans due to JoJo's 'raspy' vocals. She said: 'Everyone is different, and every voice is different. Mine is just a little extra raspy.
"Loads of people have asked me how much I smoke to get my voice like this, but the truth is, I've never smoked a cigarette in my life. The rasp is all natural, baby'.
Backlash or not, JoJo is having the last laugh as she will kick off a UK-wide tour in October.
Raspy is JoLo's third track of the year, following Bette Davis Eyes and Bulletproof.
Revealing she has big plans for her music for the rest of 2025, JoJo said: 'There's gonna be a lot of new music this year. I've honestly had a lot of personal frustration over these last three years. I've had to wait and have patience.
'I'm in a place in life where I'm like, 'Let's go! I want to put out music, I want to keep going.''

Credit: ITV While the ITV show's contestants must "say what they see", this can prove tricky on challenging puzzles. Laurence was left stumped on four Super Catchphrase riddles and therefore had to pass on them. The first depicted people writing on a blackboard, a whiteboard and a third board covered in cheese. In particular, Laurence had to focus on the last board, which had an arrow pointing at it. Advertisement Up next was was a building balancing on a pole as a figure stood at a nearby ATM. The next one featured the show's Mr. Chips character performing as a rapper on a stage. His audience was two desk fans, one blue and one pink, with the pink one jumping up and down. Last but not least, Laurence saw two people on either side of a broken fence, as they worked together to repair it. Advertisement Despite these stumbling blocks, he won £2,500 for charity in the final round. Combined with his winnings from earlier in the show, Laurence scooped a total of £7,000. Watch the moment top comedian rages 'I'm fuming' after missing out on £50k Celebrity "The answers he missed were "Cheese Board", "Bank Balance", "Fangirl" and "Mending Fences." Other famous faces have been left stumped on the beloved ITV game show. Advertisement Comedian Chris Ramsey dropped to his knees after missing out on a £50,000 Catchphrase. He made fast work of the pyramid - and found himself facing the £50,000 jackpot puzzle with over 20 seconds on the clock. The riddle showed a group of seven '1's' standing on a stage, all holding trophies or wearing a first place ribbon. Chris guessed: "First place... first cup... first prize... first stage", but to no avail.

Host Jeremy Clarkson asked: 'From the 2000 awards ceremony onwards, the Best Actress Oscar has never been won by a woman whose surname begins with which one of these letters?' The multiple choice answers were between G, K, M and W. In the end, and with the £32,000 safe, player Glen had to make a guess and went for G. It turned out to be correct as Nicole Kidman, Frances McDormand and Kate Winslet are among the stars who have won the Best Actress gong since 2000. - Earlier this year, fans were left outraged after what they described as the "worst" question in the show's history.

Huge pop star locked in bitter battle with neighbours at £7.5m house over plans for high-tech gym in the garden
Residents of an entire block of flats nearby have jointly complained about the star's plans SPOT RIGHT NOW Huge pop star locked in bitter battle with neighbours at £7.5m house over plans for high-tech gym in the garden RITA ORA won't be getting invited round to her neighbours' homes for wine and nibbles this Christmas. The Heat singer has certainly got people living near her hot under the collar — after revealing plans to build a futuristic gym in her garden. 6 Rita Ora has incurred the wrath of locals over her home renovation plans Credit: Getty Unluckily for Rita, when she bought the £7.5million Grade II-listed North London property in 2021, she actually moved in next to a bunch of NIMBYs who have moaned about her home renovations. Now, after her architect submitted plans for a gym, which would sit in the sunken courtyard of the property, they're up in arms again. I've been told that residents of an entire block of flats nearby have jointly complained. They lodged an objection that stated: 'Residents who chose this area for its tranquillity should not be forced to live with artificial lighting, amplified sound or loss of privacy.' They added: 'Although acoustic insulation is mentioned, the inclusion of bifold doors suggests that music and voice projection could occur at any hour. "The neighbouring property has a strict rule prohibiting large gatherings or parties, adopted precisely to preserve peace and respect among neighbours. 'This proposal undermines that shared understanding and carries the potential to generate conflict, complaints and even legal disputes.' The moan didn't end there though, with the group adding: 'This proposal has been drafted (deliberately or not) with minimum impact to the owner but with apparent disregard for the multiple adverse effects on surrounding neighbours.' I'm pretty sure Rita, right, just wants a place to work out . . . Someone else also lodged a grievance stating they were concerned about whether the gym would displace local squirrels and foxes. Rita Ora looks incredible as she strips off to thong bikini to enjoy an ice lolly by the pool Given that squirrels are actually vermin, and foxes spend much of their lives in London looting bins and making a racket with their blood-curdling mating noises, I think Rita would be doing her neighbours a favour if these creatures did give their homes a wide berth. All this fuss over a gym, which, I add, is going to be soundproofed from top to bottom. If I were Rita, I'd join Virgin Active and spend the cash on something at the bottom of the garden that would really annoy them. Such as a massive sculpture, painted glow-in-the-dark yellow! Elton no to hologram SIR ELTON JOHN has insisted he's not getting an ABBA-style hologram show. Eagle-eyed fans got their hopes up after seeing documents trademarking his name for 'holograms and video projections', as well as 'immersive 3D virtual reality experiences'. But those close to Elton confirmed there was no plan in the works. Elton said in 2018 that it was not something he'd consider. But When the Rocket Man announced his final tour, he lent in to virtual reality – with a pop-up at London's King Cross featuring an augmented-reality virtual Elton playing the piano. When asked about the stunt, Elton, right, said he was pretty much a technophobe, adding: 'I'm a Luddite. 'I've never downloaded anything in my life. Not even porn.' Acts including Kiss and the Rolling Stones are already embracing the new tech. Sir Mick Jagger said: 'You can have a posthumous business now.' Following his huge final Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour, Elton has been working hard on new music and dropped his last album, Who Believes in Angels?, with Brandi Carlile in April. Hopefully he will be back on stage soon . . . and thankfully, it will be the real thing and not an illusion. Shape of Ed's missus on vids 6 Ed Sheeran's wife Cherry made a secret appearance in music video for new track A Little More Credit: Getty 6 Cherry features briefly as a therapist who helps out Harry Potter star Rupert Grint Credit: ED SHEERAN's wife Cherry Seaborn is his biggest fan – and now she's popped up in the music video for his new track A Little More. I spotted Cherry, above with Ed, at the start of the video, where you see Harry Potter star Rupert Grint talking to a therapist after being released from prison. Cherry appears as the shrink employed to chat to Rupert, in main pic above, but it's a blink-and-you'd-miss-her snapshot. She is no stranger to having cameos in Ed's videos, with Cherry previously appearing in three of them. In 2022 fans loved when she popped up in Ed and Elton John's Merry Christmas music video wearing a blue dress. That same year, Cherry also appeared in the promotional video for the North American leg of Ed's Mathematics tour. She also featured in the video for Put It All On Me, which showed Cherry and Ed hugging and dancing in their kitchen. I expect plenty more cameos from Cherry when Ed's album Play comes out on September 12. SALTBURN actor Barry Keoghan once adopted a wild parrot that flew into his London apartment. He said: 'I named it Julian. It was a ring-necked parakeet and it started talking. 'It wouldn't leave my penthouse in Canary Wharf and then one day, after six months, it just flew away. 'Birds are fascinating and intelligent.' Twigs in a twist 6 FKA Twigs showed off her impressive flexibility to promote her new clothing line Credit: Instagram FKA TWIGS is getting herself tied up in knots. The Perfectly singer was all arms and legs in this snap, twisting into an extremely uncomfortable-looking pose. But she was happy to suffer for her art, with the impressive picture used to promote her new clothing collection with online shop On. Twigs created the dancewear-inspired line with the brand, which previously joined forces with Zendaya on a collection. She said: 'This capsule collection is about feeling confident in your body and free to express yourself – whether you're dancing, creating or just moving through your day.' If I moved through my day like Twigs in this photo, I think I'd end up at my chiropractor's house again. Mariah's tax gripe for king 6 Mariah Carey plans to do Brits a favour when she performs at Sandringham Credit: Getty WE could all be thanking Mariah Carey soon. The Hero singer intends to ask The King to sort taxes and London's Congestion Charge when she performs at Sandringham next week. Mariah told Capital Xtra radio host Manny Norte she had planned not to bother Charles. But she changed her mind when she heard the presenter's moan. Explaining what he'd like her to pass on, Manny said: 'That's what I want – no tax, no congestion or parking fees for the rest of my life. You know what I mean?' Mariah replied: 'And you think he's just going to give that to you? I'm going to say you told me to ask.' She added with a laugh: 'I'm serious.' Shop-stir Yungblud hits union jackpot 6 Yungblud launched his new London store in front of hundreds of fans with a traffic-stopping gig Credit: The Mega Agency YUNGBLUD stopped traffic in London in this natty Union Jack outfit when he opened his new shop. Beautifully Romanticised Accidentally Traumatized – or BRAT – was launched on Thursday. Hundreds of fans brought chaos to Denmark Street as he celebrated the opening of his clothing store and music venue with an outdoor gig. The street, filled with recording studios and music shops, is steeped in music history, with the Rolling Stones recording there, Sir Elton John and Bernie Taupin writing songs in offices in the street during the Sixties, and The Sex Pistols recording their demos there. Yungblud told the crowd: 'Keep Denmark Street alive. Keep British f***ing music alive. Keep British music powerful.' He later added of his new store: 'I want a physical space where people can come, find others with similar ideologies to them. 'I've always found it hard to connect in this world and my whole brand is about providing spaces where people can do that. 'This is a place where you can buy clothes, get a coffee, have a beer, play pool, do an art class, watch a band, start a band. The possibilities are limitless. 'It's only small right now, but I have a massive vision to take these all over the world.' I have no doubt that will soon become a reality.
