Ed Sheeran takes savage swipe at dancing reality show

Ed Sheeran vows never to join Strictly Come Dancing, citing the show's infamous "curse" and joking he wants to stay married. Get his full quotes here.

"I enjoy being married. - Ed Sheeran"

Los Angeles, Dec 14

English singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran, who is known for 'Shape of You', 'Sapphire', 'Perfect' and others, has taken a savage dig at the dancing reality show 'Strictly Come Dancing'.

The singer-songwriter has vowed never to sign up for the show, reports 'Mirror.co.uk'.

The superstar singer, 34, who put his ballroom dancing skills to the test in his 2014 video, 'Thinking Out Loud', would be an A-list addition to the BBC series, which ends next week in a star-studded finale.

Many fans would love to see Ed strut his stuff on the dance floor. However, the 'Regrets' star insists there's no way we'll see him slipping into sequins any time soon as he made a cheeky dig at the primetime programme.

As per 'Mirror.co.uk', referring to the so-called Strictly curse, which has seen married couples fall for their Strictly professional partner, or another celebrity on the show, the singer made his feelings clear when asked if he would ever take part in the show.

Speaking backstage at the Capital Jingle Ball, he stated, firmly, "No", before quipping, "I enjoy being married". The former busker also insisted he wasn't very good at dancing, saying, "You've got to do what you're good at and that ain't what I'm good at.

"I've done some dancing, but I do lots of rehearsals for that. (Thinking Out Loud) was six weeks of full on ballroom dancing every single day. A bit like hardcore Strictly Come Dancing, but not going on television", he added.

During his set on 'Jingle Bell Ball' on Saturday, Ed paid tribute to his wife, Cherry, after adding the Play album track Heaven to his performance, because it's her favourite.

The singer, whose net worth has been estimated to be as much as $4.5 million married his school friend at a private ceremony in 2018 after dating for three years but waited almost a year to confirm the news publicly.

Haha, his dig about the "Strictly curse" is actually quite funny. But honestly, Indian reality shows have their own drama too! He'd probably get even more scared if he saw some of ours. 😂

I appreciate his honesty about not being good at dancing. So many celebrities here in India join dance shows just for the fame and money, even if they have two left feet. At least he's self-aware.

"Thinking Out Loud" is such a beautiful song and the dance was lovely. Maybe he should just stick to making music videos if he wants to dance, instead of committing to a long reality show schedule.

It's a bit of a shame though. He clearly worked hard for that video and has some skill. A show like that could have been fun for his fans. But I guess family peace is more important than entertainment.

His tribute to his wife is so sweet! That's the real story here, not the swipe at the show. More celebrities should be like this—grounded and valuing their personal relationships.
