Ed Sheeran: 'Fan Gave Me Hair-Filled Cake'

Ed Sheeranhas revealed that an over-enthusiastic fan once baked him a cake with a clump of hair inside.

The singer-songwriter told the Yahoo's OMG! site that a fan had presented him with the cake as a gift, only for him later to discover that she had added a little bit of herself (presumably) to the recipe.

He said: "Someone cooked it in a cake, a big clump of hair. Don't ask me how I found it out... I tried to eat it.

"I thought, 'It's very sweet to be given a cake. I shall eat the cake'. Then I found a clump.

"I was half expecting her to track me down and be like, 'I'm inside you now!', be proper stalker-ish."

But he insisted that not all the presents he was given were so odd.

"I get quite a lot of cool presents," he continued. "I got given some doughnuts with some Lord of the Rings Lego, which was cool. We like that."

Ed has been working with One Direction this summer, as the boys are recording two of his tracks.
