Ed Sheeran has hinted that he may be joined on stage by another musician at the BRIT Awards.

The singer-songwriter, 26, teased a possible collaboration as he opened up about his performance on the Radio 1 Breakfast Show with Nick Grimshaw.

“I’ve got two things dropping on Friday that are pretty interesting,” he said. “One that gets debuted at the Brits, which I think people will go a bit nuts for.”

He continued: “It’s something that I think nobody is expecting. I think it’ll be decent. I’ve managed to keep it secret up until now, which is good.

Using the term “we” he finished: “But tomorrow night, I think we’re the penultimate act [performing].”

Little Mix, Bruno Mars, The 1975, Robbie Williams, Skepta, Coldplay, Emeli Sandé and Katy Perry are all set to perform.

Speculation has been growing as to whether or not the Foo Fighters will make a surprise appearance at the event.

The US group were spotted boarding a plane from Los Angeles to the UK on Tuesday.

The appearance came amidst rumours that the band are preparing to announce a headline slot at Glastonbury Festival.

They teased fans earlier this week when they sent out “boarding cards” for a fictitious “Obelisk Airlines”.

The “First Class” cards list the “check-in time” as 18.00 hours on Tuesday, February 21 and are signed with frontman Dave Grohl's autograph.

The band’s website is also showing a departure board displaying their confirmed tour dates with one date tagged as “PENDING” alongside a line of jumbled letters.

One eagle-eyed fan has since spotted what could be a plane being towed into the festival site.

The BRIT Awards are on ITV tonight at 7:30pm.
