Moved on: Ed Sheeran has revealed that he has put his anger aside after writing a song about a cheating ex who is believed to be Ellie Goulding

Talking frankly about the incident, Ed added: ‘I’m grateful I could get a song out of it, to be honest. I don’t feel it’s about anyone anymore, I’m not attached to that.

‘The moment you attach to someone to a song it becomes more difficult to sing every night.’

Lyrics to his new track include: 'I never saw him as a threat, ’til you ­disappeared with him to have sex,' and 'If I show courtesy and respect to someone, I expect to receive it'.
