Back in saddle… but Ed Sheeran takes no chances

READY, Ed-y, go…

Ed Sheeran hops back in the saddle for the first time since being hit by a car while cycling two months ago.

The superstar singer suffered a broken arm and fractured wrist in the accident in October.

And the 26-year-old wasn’t taking any risks when it came to going for a ride.

The Shape of You singer sat astride a child’s bicycle — a pink one at that — with a matching helmet and kneepads.

Did we mention the tinsel-wrapped handlebars and the stabilisers?

We’re sure onlookers were tickled pink at the sight of him.

‘It’s riding up my arse,’ he complained, before whizzing around backstage at Capital FM’s Jingle Bell Ball with Coca-Cola.

We can confirm Ed didn’t suffer any injuries at London’s O2 arena on Sunday.

In other news, his record-breaking album Divide is set to spend an 18th week at No.1 in the UK charts.
