Ed Sheeran’s fans were sympathetic after the star took two toilet breaks during his Cardiff gig.

The singer, 27, interrupted his Saturday night set after performing Galway Girl and then three songs later, in the middle of singing Photograph.

“I’ve been gigging since I was 14 and I’ve never done that,” BBC news reported he said after returning to the stage the first time, “and now I do it in front of 60,000 people”.

The star is on his Divide world tour.
