Ed Sheeran avoids urinals as a rule as fans try to 'have a look' at his private parts

Ed Sheeran has admitted his rule is to avoid urinals wherever possible.

The Shape of You singer, 30, confessed that he made the decision after fans would try to lean over to take a look at his genitalia while he was using the toilet.

He confessed that if there were no cubicles free, he would make sure he used the very end urinal to try to avoid any peeking.

"There will be 20 urinals and I will stand at an end one and someone will come and stand right next to me just to have a look," he complained. "So my rule is I usually don’t."

He also opened up about other awkward encounters he has faced, including one with Game of Thrones star Kit Harington and another with King of the North star Richard Madden.

Speaking to the Armchair Expert podcast, the musician said: "You’re there and you’re like, 'Oh my God. This is kind of awkward. I’m next to Jon Snow'. Not knowing that he’s thinking 'Oh my God, this is so awkward'."

Ed's confessions come as he released his new album Equals.

He also told recently told fans that he would love to have more kids with wife Cherry Seaborn. The couple currently have one daughter, one-year-old Lyra.

And fans were work to guess that the flame-haired singer is wanting three more kids - because he has three empty picture frame tattoos.

Ed has a flock of inkings across his body but in his latest video for new track Overpass Graffiti., viewers can see his colourful back which displays a framed picture of what is believed to be his daughter Lyra's footprints as well as three empty picture frames.

A source told The Sun said: "Ed's new tattoos represent the four children he hopes to have. He has Lyra's footprints in one and is saving the other spaces for the three more kids he wants.

"Now he just needs to persuade his wife Cherry to have more."

In an earlier interview, Ed had said: "I’d love more kids man, I’d love it, but it does all depend on what Cherry wants too because it’s her body.

"I’m really proud of Cherry as a mother. She’s such an incredible human, I’m just in awe."

And he said that becoming a dad has made him sort out his physical well-being too. He continued: "Lyra has been the biggest motivation in terms of detoxing my life, and I think it’s a change everyone needs to go through if they’re a parent."
