Ed Sheeran was spotted smoking and messing about with mates on what looked like one raucous lads night out in London recently.
The Shape Of You singer was visiting the upmarket Kerridge’s Bar & Grill at the Corinthia in London last week when he was spotted out the front with friends.
Ed, who is currently enjoying huge chart success with his newest single Shivers, larked around and enjoyed a drink outside the restaurant.
In a series of images, Ed was seen smoking, as he joined a number of friends.
At one stage the superstar leaned precariously towards one friend as they played around and appeared stiff as a board while his mate set him back upright, sporting a big grin.
The megastar was clearly in good form, as he was seen cheekily waving two bottles of wine on the steps of the Michelin star restaurant.

Wrapped up in layers including a hoody and jacket, other images show the singer leaning up against a tree, appearing relaxed and happy with the group, who are pictured laughing together.
While it is apparent the 30-year-old enjoyed his night out, many fans will be shocked to see him smoking, as he previously announced he had finally managed to kick the habit for good.

In 2018, Ed revealed he had reached the hugely impressive milestone of not touching a cigarette for an entire year.
The record-breaking artist previously said he had decided to quit after he gained weight during his year-long hiatus, and realised it was time for a health kick.
Explaining to Entertainment Tonight that he ‘chain-smoked, I drunk a lot of alcohol and ate very unhealthy’, the then-27-year-old added that he will ‘still do all those things, but … I basically needed to moderate’.
Ed cut down on his, er, bad habits, as he was preparing to marry now-wife Cherry Seaborn.
Ed and Cherry have known each other since secondary school but only started dating in 2015, eventually tying the knot in January 2019.

The couple have one daughter together, Lyra Antarctica.
Last week, Ed delighted fans as he joined Coldplay on stage for the launch of the band’s ninth studio album, Music Of The Spheres.
The two popular acts played a number of songs together, including Fix You, Shape Of You and Ed’s newest offering, Shivers.
