Ed Sheeran has kicked his Bad Habits for good - his ten-month-old baby daughter to thank for it. Sitting down with James Corden on Tuesday night's episode of The Late Late Show, the singer was quizzed about his much slimmer frame and spoke candidly about the major lifestyle change he's undergone since becoming a first-time father.

The Shape of You singer previously admitted back in 2017 that he had managed to lose an incredible 50 pounds simply by cutting beer from his diet. Following that, he quit smoking for good in 2019, and it seems that he's only gone from strength to strength since.

Speaking on the Behind the Medal podcast in 2019, he said: "I stopped smoking three years ago and ever since then started exercising. I love it." He explained that his workout routine includes 45 minutes of running, sit-ups and sometimes swimming.

He added: "I started doing it because when I stopped smoking, I was very aware that my lungs were so full of [expletive] that I needed to clear them out. Gyms are good but there's nothing like fresh air to really give you a clean out. That's, for me, the main reason why I started doing it."
