The singer, 25, revealed that he piled on 22 kilograms and was put on a high-impact exercise regimen by hockey star girlfriend Cherry Seaborn, 24, reports The Sun.

Amazingly, he has now lost the weight with just a ten-minute daily workout.

Sheeran said: “I didn’t realise how active I was on tour.

“My diet was pizza and beer, but because I was doing two hours a night I was really in shape.

“I stopped touring and carried on my diet of pizza and beer. Suddenly I didn’t fit in anything.

“I was like, ‘All my clothes have shrunk’.”

Sheeran — due to make chart history this week with new singles at #1 and #2 — is now down to 73 kilograms.

He told UK radio show Total Access: “I did ten minutes a day without fail — intervals of 30 seconds sprinting and 30 jogging.

“The key is to not miss a day, so you don’t have to do an hour.”

Sheeran’s comeback songs Shape Of You and Castle On The Hill got a record 6 million Spotify plays in 24 hours last week.

The singer recently revealed he was hit with a parking fine for speeding in his $328,000 Aston Martin.

Despite his fitness drive, he plans to build a pub in his garden in Suffolk, on the east coast of England.

He said: “I love the simple country life — going to the pub, ale. I’ll put my awards in there.”
