Suffolk superstar Ed Sheeran has revealed why he decided to build a pub on his Suffolk estate. 

Speaking on an episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast, Sheeran said he has tried to replicate the pub he used to go to when he was younger. 

Talking about why he built the pub to podcast host Alex Cooper, Sheeran said: "I built a pub in my garden because there used to be this pub I would go to, where I'd go to blow off steam.

"And it got to that point where people knew I went there, so I couldn't go as much and get as drunk as I'd like.

"And there an old barn on my land, so I bought the counter and the pub off of eBay, and all of the plumbing and wiring in.

"There's now a tunnel to it from the house and in there I have also built a listening room and a cinema. And that's my man catacombs."

He also revealed on the podcast that he has future desires to move away from Suffolk to Nashville. 

The Thinking Out Loud singer said he hopes to one day relocate to the US and transition into country music. 

He said: "When you transition to country, you can’t transition back.

“Nashville is my favourite city in the States and it’s always been my end goal to move to Nashville and transition to country.”
