Ed Sheeran’s family fitness plan

Ed Sheeran has had a gym and swimming pool installed in his parents’ house.

The 26-year-old singer wants his parents John, 60 and Imogen, 57, to live long and healthy lives so has put them on a new fitness regime.

He told The Sun: "I think any kid at my age starts getting worried about their parents’ health.

"I have bought them a cross-trainer and built them a swimming pool.

"They are now training and swimming every day. I want them to be able to hang out with their grandkids for a very long time."

However, in his own home, Ed has opted to build a pub, where he intends to host parties in the coming years.

He recently said: "I’ve built a pub. Like, I had a bar before, a bar where you could pour beers but now this has like a selection of beers, which is cool.

"So, basically, there’s an underground tunnel to get there that you can close off. So, if I have a party, everyone goes in the pub and no one can get in the house so you get no one raiding the cupboards or smashing anything. You have to go underground to get to the pub."

Ed – who recently returned to the spotlight after a year-long hiatus – said the pub will be especially useful in the event of him having kids, because it will afford him a bit of space from the stresses of being a parent.

He explained: "I think it’s great, but the problem with my house at the moment is when I have a house party it’s all in the house and if I have kids I still wanna have mates around and have beers and stuff like that so it’s good to have something that’s separate. Me and my wife will take turns getting p***ed."
