Ed Sheeran has admits to ‘conflict’ in his marriage with Cherry Seaborn as he reveals she knows he writes about everything that goes on in their life

Ed Sheeran has candidly opened up on married life as he gave a very rare insight into his relationship with wife Cherry Seaborn. The pair try to leave a very private life despite Ed’s huge status and now the Shape Of You singer has admitted they have “real conflict” in their marriage.

Ed, 34, and Cherry, 33, have been married since 2019 and share two kids together. The singer treated fans at a Q&A session at Spotify and admitted it’s important to be honest that life isn’t always smelling of roses.

Sharing personal details, Ed explained how his relationship has helped shaped his music. “Cherry knows I write about everything – not just the good stuff. Songs like ‘Perfect’ exist, but so do the ones about real conflict,” he told the crowd.

“That’s part of any relationship, and I think it’s important to be honest about it.” And speaking about his songwriting, he confessed that a song Bono wrote about missing his wife’s birthday inspired him to write his own personal tune for Cherry.

“It’s a personal moment that exists only for her,” he lovingly said. And Ed also revealed how he has had to take a step back on his workload in search of a fine balance. “In my early career, it was 100 per cent work, 0 per cent personal life. Now it’s 70 per cent family, 30 per cent music. Balance isn’t just healthy – it’s success.

“When I look back at these years with my family and friends, I want to say: I lived those days and I enjoyed every minute.”

Ed also shared how, despite his estimated £370million fortune, he enjoys a budget holiday at Butlin’s. The singer confessed that one his best holidays was a trip to the resort in Minehead in January.

He was part of a stag do and such was his love for the time, he is desperate to go back. He dressed in disguise as Roy Wood from Wizzard fo the event and admitted he was “off my nut” and that the resort was “f***ing awesome”.

He said: “For my mate Doug’s [stag], we went to Butlin’s. It was an Eighties-themed weekender and we saw tribute bands Pearl Scam and Metal Militia.

“I dressed up as [Roy Wood from] Wizzard and I had this big beard, long white hair and sunglasses. And I was off my nut. It was great. Butlin’s goes hard. I love it. I never thought I’d go to Butlin’s. Then, when I was there, I was like, ‘I need to come here more often — this is f***ing awesome’.”

It was a far cry from his own stag do, which involved a Wolf Of Wall Street theme. His own bash involved being force-fed shots on a small plane. “It was Wolf Of Wall Street-themed.

“All of my mates dressed up and they put me on a plane,” he told The 2 Johnnies podcast. “My manager got this small prop plane.

“We flew from Stansted for 20 minutes just to be like, ‘We’re on a plane’. And then it’s grim. You know when you’re being force-fed shots? It was that. But all of my mates’ stag dos have been different.”

The star of many 90s and 00s hits Brittany Murphy’s death at just aged 32 hit home with fans, but when her husband died exactly the same way five months later some horrifying theories have gone around

Appearing in Clueless, Sin City, 8 Mile and Girl Interrupted, Brittany Murphy was a Hollywood star rising up through the ranks in the 90s and 00s. But her life would come to a tragic end at just 32 in what appeared to be natural causes, but is still shrouded in mystery.

On December 20, 2009, Murphy was found collapsed in the bathroom of her Hollywood Hills home by her mother after calling her for help. After being rushed to a local hospita she passed away soon after.

The official LA County Coroner concluded the actress had died from pneumonia, with a severe iron deficiency and intoxication from over-the-counter medicines contributing to her death.

In the 2021 HBO show What Happened, Brittany Murphy?, deputy medical examiner Dr Lisa Scheinn said she could have been walking around with the disease for a fair while trying to power through it.

She added: “If she had gotten to a hospital early enough, you can detect pneumonia on the chest X-ray. It’s very easy to do. They could have possibly started treatment. But she would’ve had a chance.”

When she died, her iron levels were critically low, with her haemoglobin level “very anaemic” at just a level of 3.0, while a normal rate is between 12 and 15.5.

In a shocking twist that has confused many, just five months later, in May 2010, Brittany’s husband, Simon Monjack, died in the very same house from the same condition. The 40-year-old’s death was cited as a combination of pneumonia, anaemia and intoxication from medication, sparking some intense speculation.

While theories from poisonings to the effects of an alleged eating disorder have spiralled around, some amateur sleuths believe the couple’s death was down to toxic mould hiding in their house and getting into their lungs.

While this theory gained traction online, Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office Assistant Chief Ed Winter flatly rejected this possibility.

According to Winter, toxicology reports and autopsies found no evidence mould played any role in their deaths, with no spores being found in either of their lungs.

Murphy’s father, Angelo Bertolotti, pushed for further investigation and, in 2013, commissioned independent toxicology tests after he accused Brittany’s mother of poisoning the couple, with traces of metal found in their hair.

However, these allegations were not held up with no evidence of any poison being found in her toxicology report, and the metals were instead thought to have come from everyday items such as hair dye or hairspray, and critical signs of heavy-metal poisoning in the bloodstream or nail patterns were absent.

“A game-changer for my skincare. The mask is lightweight, and the results are visible within weeks.”

Once reserved for pricey salon treatments, LED face masks have exploded in popularity in the last few years, becoming one of the hottest beauty-tech trends. But while demand has soared, they can come with steep price tags.

Popular alternatives include CurrentBody’s LED Blue Light Therapy Face Mask: Series 2 (£399.99), which is loved for its flexible design. Otherwise, Dr Dennis Gross’s DRx SpectraLite™ FaceWare Pro LED Mask (£465) is clinically proven to deliver visible results in three minutes.

It has three therapy light settings: red to boost collagen and enhance firmness, blue to combat acne-causing bacteria, and a combination mode to tackle fine lines, wrinkles and blemishes. Back to Keskine, the mask has had plenty of great reviews from shoppers. One user said: “Using this mask has transformed my skincare routine.

“My complexion is brighter, and I feel more confident without makeup.” Meanwhile, another said: “I’ve received compliments on my skin’s appearance since using this mask.”

Another said: “Easy to use and delivers visible improvements in skin appearance.” But it isn’t all good news.

One shopper mentioned the brand’s return policy via TrustPilot. They said: “Their returns policy claims ‘refunds within 30 days if unopened,’ but their packaging makes it impossible to inspect the item without breaking the protective seal.

“This gave them the excuse to claim it was ‘opened’, even though it was completely unused.” On a more positive note, this LED Light Therapy Face Mask Pro user said: “The 360° mirror tech ensures even coverage.

Thomas Skinner, who has admitted he has made “big mistakes,” including cheating on his wife Sinead, is set to make his Strictly Come Dancing bow on Saturday night

Thomas Skinner has not helped himself amid the scandal around his affair, according to Loose Women star Jane Moore.

The salesman, who was on The Apprentice, admitted he cheated on his wife Sinead just weeks after their wedding. During the three-month fling, he allegedly told Amy-Lucy O’Rourke, 35, she “was the love of his life” but his mistress is believed to have eventually told Sinead about the infidelity.

But Thomas, 34, has since even confessed on social media “If you dig you’ll find more,” a damning comment which Jane, a journalist and broadcaster, by which she suggested she was baffled. Sharing her opinion on the bombshell, which has emerged ahead of Thomas’ run on Strictly Come Dancing, Jane wrote: “Thomas adds: ‘I’ve got an extremely chequered past . . . if you dig you’ll find more.’ Er, thanks for the tip. Something tells me he hasn’t had media training.”

The exact details of the TV star’s “extremely chequered past” remain unclear but Thomas, of Romford, east London, had shared another post on X yesterday – but he swiftly deleted it. The post featured a photograph of him and Sinead, mum to his three kids, enjoying a romantic dinner and the words gushed about his wife. A section read: “When you make a mistake no matter how long ago or how big or small. There are only three things you should do about it: admit it, learn from it, and definitely don’t repeat it.”

But in today’s edition of The Sun Jane, who has been on Loose Women since 2013 in this stint, suggested Thomas has encouraged the publicity himself. In her opinion column, she added: “Following reports that he flounced out of a Strictly press conference after discovering journalists were recording his comments (what was he expecting – a quill and ink well?) it has now emerged he had a three-month affair shortly after marrying wife Sinead.

“Taking to X, he posted that it ‘was one stupid moment I’ll carry forever’ and that his wife had forgiven him. End of, you might think. But no, 34-year-old Thomas adds: ‘I’ve got an extremely chequered past . . . if you dig you’ll find more.'”

And Jane suggests this last comment added fuel to the fire and has only led to further criticism. However, the attention comes days before dad-to-three Thomas is due to make his Strictly Come Dancing debut in the new series.

Claire Sweeney, who dated Ricky Hatton after the pair were on Dancing on Ice, previously called the former boxer “the people’s champ” following his death aged 46

Ricky Hatton’s ex-girlfriend Claire Sweeney left his son a poignant show of support last night with two heartwarming Instagram comments.

The actress and singer responded to Campbell Hatton’s touching tribute to his 46-year-old dad, who was found dead at his home by his manager on Sunday morning. Campbell, who is also a boxer, expressed his sorrow, writing “heartbroken isn’t the word” in the emotional post.

Claire, who dated Hatton after the pair were on Dancing on Ice, left two comments. She first posted five heart emojis minutes after Campbell shared the tribute, and later mum-of-one Claire said: “Sending you love xxx”. Each of these comments received likes as Hatton fans gathered to show his son solidarity last night.

In full, Campbell wrote: “Heartbroken isn’t the word. Everybody has always said I was your double and never a truer word said. Looked up to you in every aspect of life. Can’t explain how much I’m going to miss the laughs we had and all the good times which I will remember forever. Just can’t believe we won’t have anymore. Love you dad.”

My thoughts are with his family especially his children Campbell, Millie Fearne and Lyla, his granddaughter. To them, Speaky and to all his friends who loved him so deeply and for so many years I send you my deepest sympathy. Ricky, you were the people’s champ. We adored and cherished you. Love you always.”

Claire accompanied her words with a montage of videos and photos from her time with Ricky, soundtracked by the Elvis track ‘If I can dream.’
