Ed Sheeran has finally chatted about that time he was supposedly cut by a sword-wielding Princess Beatrice during a particularly eventful evening.

Sporting quite the scar on his face as he makes the promo rounds for his new singles, Ed explained to Absolute Radio recently that he didn't even realise what had happened at first.

"I got hit in the face and I was like, all right, OK, and then started carrying on and then I looked down at my shirt and it was just completely covered in blood," he said.

"And everyone was kind of gaping open-mouthed at me. What have I got a nosebleed or something? What's happened?"

Still not naming the princess as the culprit, Ed added that someone else was happy to take the wrap.

"James Blunt would like me to tell everyone that it was him and he was trying to reclaim his pop career by killing me."

Obsessed.
