Ed Sheeran used to sit on Circle Line trains and ‘go round and round’

Ed Sheeran used to hang around while unclean on London Underground trains because he didn’t have anywhere else to go.

The Lego House hitmaker – currently supporting Taylor Swift on her Red tour – admits he would go days without washing when he began his quest to become a musician and would be forced to sit on Tube trains all day.

Speaking to the Daily Star he said: “Sometimes when I didn’t have a place to shower, I’d wait for the Tube to open up at 5am and sit on the Circle Line and go round and round. I wouldn’t shower.

“I couch surfed and floor surfed sometimes. Once I was staying at this student house and had a shower but didn’t have a towel.

“This lad had a Green Day poster, I literally just scraped the water off with it.”

The 22-year-old singer – who has been romantically linked to Selena Gomez – claims since becoming a global star, his cleanliness has improved.

He said: “Now, I shower every day.”
