Ed Sheeran Has Sent Fans Into A Frenzy Once More With Latest Instagram Post

Ed Sheeran is making us question every single thing he says, the cheeky lad.  Ed Sheeran caused uproar on Wednesday of this week when he took to Instagram to tell fans that he had only been joking about getting a large tattoo of a lion across his chest.

The tattoo had sparked much debate online, with Ed taking to Twitter to defend it, but fans were left in shock when he shared a snap this week showing his bare chest.

All this kerfuffle over a tattoo. If it was black and white saying a clever phrase in a language I can't speak no one would've said anything

While many believed that he’d tricked the world about the lion tattoo, others were quick to claim that he was pulling another prank… and they were soon proved right.

Only joking, covered it up for a TV show didn't I

Ed took to Instagram once more on Wednesday night, captioning a second picture: “Only joking, covered it up for a TV show didn’t I.” Ed, oh Ed, how you mess with our heads so. And just in case you missed it, here's what the full tattoo looks like... or does it?!

Halfway and ouch
