Chart topping star left fuming over Ed Sheeran's Radio 1 Big Weekend performance
Music fans were thrilled when Ed Sheeran made an unscheduled appearance at the BBC Radio 1 Big Weekend festival over the weekend - but a fellow music star had good reason to be less impressed Fans were delighted by Ed Sheeran's secret set at BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend in Liverpool on Saturday. But there was one person who was a bit miffed over the unexpected appearance. I hear Tom Odell wasn't best pleased about the Shape of You star's surprise performance. Starting his set at 1.30pm on the Main Stage, Ed's appearance at 1.15pm on the New Music stage drew the crowds to him - and it didn't go unnoticed by Tom. 'Tom was expecting a big crowd for his performance but when Ed's show was announced everyone flocked to his tent and he wasn't happy,' said one source. Despite the mishap, the Big Weekend festival has been a hit for music fans - as other stars have unexpectedly appeared on stage. On Friday, Little Bit of Love singer Tom Grennan drove the crowds wild when he invited Spice Girls icon Mel C to join him on stage where they performed a duet of her song, When You're Gone. Tom said after his set on the Main Stage at Sefton Park: 'Mel is a good mate of mine, but she's a Scouse legend too so it just felt the perfect chance to do something a bit special together - thankfully she was up for it! "The whole event was just a brilliant experience and getting a few mates out on stage to join me really gave it an extra bit of something on top, but doing something marking the memory of the Hillsborough victims just felt right. 'Mel is such a supporter of that cause too, she really understands what it means to local people and has been involved with raising money for the support group over the years.' Wearing a retro Everton shirt while Mel wore a 90s Liverpool kit, the pair talked movingly about 'uniting the city' with Tom later adding: 'It's a special city with an amazing history, and obviously an incredible sporting rivalry, so hopefully we managed to get the tone just right. 'There were a few bantery boos from the Everton fans when Mel came out in the retro Liverpool kit, so I ran backstage and changed into an old Everton one to redress the balance, it seemed to go down well. 'Hopefully people had a great time as well as taking a second to remember the 97 people who lost their lives as a result of the Hillsborough disaster.' Tom was also joined by local rockers The Zutons, YouTuber KSI and pal Ella Henderson. Saturday's line-up saw Sam Fender, Sugababes, Myles Smith and Blossoms take to the stage on the Main Stage. And Canadian pop babe Tate McRae, American singing sisters HAIM, and British country group Mumford & Sons were among performers taking to the Main Stage on Sunday. The Mirror also caught up with The Saturdays star Mollie King at the music event - with the star appearing days after her triumphant return to the air following her most recent maternity leave. 'It's so good to be back,' she told me - and said she was made up to be reunited with co-host Matt Edmonson. 'I've missed this guy. He was the first person to visit and meet the little one.' The Saturdays star welcomed her second daughter, Lilliana, with cricketer Stuart Broad last December.

Is Ed Sheeran ageing in reverse? Here's how men can look 10 years younger
If Ed Sheeran were to enter an Ed Sheeran lookalike contest anytime soon, you'd be forgiven for wondering if he'd actually win. It's a sentiment shared by fans of the singer following his appearance at the Time100 gala in New York on Thursday night, where he looked a decade younger than his 34 years. His followers on TikTok have been making the same observation. Poking fun at the trend for sharing your 'morning routine', Sheeran's latest clip sees him waking up next to his guitar, rubbing oranges on his face and cleaning his teeth with hot sauce. Yet among the obvious jokes, there are some elements of truth – the most obvious of which being that he does have the ageless look of a biohacking bro. @edsheeran Everyone saying I look like I'm aging in reverse. Here's my morning routine. #saratoga #realblokesdopilates #NewMusic ♬ Azizam - Ed Sheeran Here, we break down some of the ways men can look younger like Ed. Pilates The Shape of You singer has recently shared his devotion to Pilates on Instagram, as well as in the aforementioned TikTok clip, which is hashtagged 'realblokesdopilates' – a nod to the widely held preconception that the practice is for women only. 'Pilates is brilliant for men because it helps lengthen and strengthen muscles, which supports a leaner, more agile physique,' agrees personal trainer Aimee Victoria Long. 'It also improves posture, flexibility and core strength – things that are often neglected in traditional workouts. Plus, the focus on breath and controlled movement makes it a powerful tool for mindfulness and stress relief, which is something we all need more of!' Facial ice baths While Sheeran might not be filling his sink with Saratoga bottled mineral water and buckets of ice every morning as he depicts in his TikTok video, he'd definitely feel the anti-ageing benefits if he did. 'Ice face plunging may sound extreme, but it's a powerful tool for skin health and anti-ageing, especially for men in their 30s,' explains Alex Manos, a functional medicine expert at The HVN. 'Cold exposure boosts circulation, reduces inflammation, tightens pores and encourages lymphatic drainage, giving the skin a firmer, more toned appearance. Over time, the plunging can increase circulation delivering more oxygen to your cells, promoting overall skin health and a vibrant complexion, helping slow visible signs of ageing. It's a simple, natural biohack that fits right into a modern man's wellness routine.' Skincare It's 2025 – men having a skincare regime is no longer the symbol of metrosexuality that it once was (in fact, according to Clearpay, overall beauty spending by men in the UK has increased by 77 per cent year on year). Yet that doesn't mean all skincare in your 30s is created equal. 'Looking good in your 30s as a man is all about consistency, and skincare is your foundation,' explains aesthetics doctor Dr David Jack. 'This is the decade where early signs of ageing start to show, especially from accumulated sun damage and lifestyle stressors. Daily SPF is non-negotiable. If you're already seeing signs of pigmentation or dullness, incorporating regular resurfacing treatments like my Yellow Peel can help undo sun damage, even out skin tone and stimulate collagen.' Supplements There's a blink and you'll miss it shot in Sheeran's TikTok of him stirring a supplement into his drink – a must-do for wellness types these days. But which supplements are recommended for men in their 30s and beyond? 'A high-quality men's multivitamin can help support collagen production, skin repair and hormonal health,' says Xuxa Milrose, an in-house nutritionist at OMNI Wellness. 'Key nutrients like vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc, selenium and B-complex vitamins all play crucial roles in keeping skin firm, clear and energised from the inside out. Omega-3s are also a great addition to reduce inflammation and keep the skin barrier strong.' Cutting down on alcohol A study published in the Annals of Medicine this week confirmed that we can't party like we used to once we get to the age of 36. It's good news then that the once hard-partying Sheeran has dramatically cut down on his beer consumption since becoming a father in 2020. Speaking to Rolling Stone in 2023, he said: 'It's just a realisation of, 'I'm getting into my 30s,' grow up! You've partied, you've had this experience. Be happy with that and just be done.' Milrose explains that reducing the amount of nights you have on the beers is one of the easiest ways to look younger in your 30s and beyond: 'Cutting back on alcohol is one of the simplest – and most impactful – ways to support a more youthful appearance,' she says. 'Alcohol dehydrates the skin, disrupts sleep and increases oxidative stress, all of which speed up visible signs of ageing.' Tweakments While we've no idea if Sheeran has gone down the tweakment route, he'd certainly not be alone, with the British College of Aesthetic Medicine reporting a 70 per cent increase in men receiving aesthetic treatments since 2021. 'More and more men in their 30s are turning to subtle tweakments like Botox to stay looking fresh, not frozen,' says aesthetics doctor Dr Joney De Souza. 'Botox gives a refreshed, more youthful look without making it obvious you've had anything done. Think of it as maintenance, not makeover. Done right, Botox helps you look like you – just the well-rested, slightly glowier version. 'It's not about changing your face, it's about softening those frown lines, preventing deeper wrinkles, and keeping that effortlessly youthful look. It helps slow down the formation of deeper wrinkles, keeping your skin looking smoother and more rested. And in today's world, where confidence and looking sharp matter personally and professionally, Botox is becoming part of the modern man's grooming routine.' Dr Ahmed El Muntasar, a cosmetic doctor and NHS GP, also recommends collagen -boosting treatments to fight the signs of ageing. 'Male skin is approximately 33 per cent thicker than female skin, which offers some initial resistance to ageing, but collagen loss still occurs steadily, eventually leading to structural changes. Maintaining skin thickness is therefore key. Collagen stimulators such as Ellansé and LaLuma are excellent options as they help rejuvenate the skin and restore lost volume over time. Skin boosters are also highly recommended for improving hydration and enhancing overall skin quality, promoting a fresher, plumper appearance.'

Ed Sheeran Shocks Fans with His Tattoos in Shirtless TikTok Trolling This Viral Morning Routine: 'Aging in Reverse'
Is Ed Sheeran the new Ashton Hall? Well, he's trying to be — in good fun of course. On March 30, the singer posted a hilarious TikTok video of his morning routine, which seemed to not actually belong to him, but instead to Hall, a popular fitness influencer who recently went viral for completing his intense rituals all before 9:30 a.m. "Everyone saying I look like I'm aging in reverse. Here's my morning routine. #saratoga #realblokesdopilates #NewMusic," Sheeran, 34, captioned the post, which he set to his forthcoming single "Azizam." The clip showed the Grammy winner waking up at 6:40 a.m with a guitar conveniently beside him in bed before plunging his face into a bowl of ice cold Saratoga Spring Water (Hall style). He then did multiple exercises before getting a massage, eventually ending up in the shower and performing his hygiene routine, which included rubbing clementine peels on his skin and putting the fruit up his nostrils (inspired by Hall's banana peel facial) and brushing his teeth with hot sauce. His regimen ends with him getting dressed, eating breakfast, creating a list of "side quests" and listening to his new single — all by 8:11 a.m. Fans were quick to pick up on Sheeran's satire while others commented on how shocked they were to see his chest, back and arms fully tatted. Body ink has been a part of the singer's look for a while, but the shirtless clips featured in his TikTok video really showed how many he has. "I always forget he's actually fully tatted," one follower commented. Another added: "How did I not know that Ed Sheeran was TATTEDDDD." In an October 2024 GQ interview, Sheeran broke down his collection of tats, including the "Red" on his arm for Taylor Swift's album of the same name and the newborn footprints of his kids, Lyra and Jupiter. While staying busy making TikTok parodies and memes, Sheeran has been getting down to business in the studio working on new music. In a recent interview on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon the "Thinking Out Loud" singer revealed that he already has the names for his next five albums lined up (the newest one is called Play) and, like his past series of projects inspired by mathematics, they're all related to one another. The new slate of albums was also inspired by Sheeran's love for Quentin Tarantino. "I wanted to do 10. I'm kind of a bit obsessed with Tarantino, and I heard he was doing 10 films, and he's got his side projects like Grindhouse and s---," he said. Read the original article on People
