Ed Sheeran’s mom sat his exams

Ed Sheeran’s mom sat his A-level art exam for him.

The chart-topping pop star didn’t turn up for the last four months of his time in school and so his mother, Imogen, decided to sit his practical art test for him because she was determined to ensure her son didn’t fail.

Ed explained: "I didn’t turn up for the last four months of school and she didn’t want me to fail my art exam.

"So she did it for me because it was a practical."

What’s more, Imogen ended up scoring the highest marks in the school.

Ed told the Daily Star newspaper: "I got 100 percent A star on it and it was the only 100 percent A star in school.

"They do like a portfolio, I was just away touring saying: ‘No mum and I’m going to be a famous musician.’ And she’s like: ‘No you have to get your grades.’ Then she did it and got 100 percent!"

Meanwhile, Ed recently revealed he wants to get tattoos of his future children’s handprints.

The 25-year-old star is known for his large collection of inkings, but explained he’s saving space on his body for when he starts a family, so he can have the handprints of his kids permanently etched into his skin.

Ed – who is currently in a relationship with his former school friend Cherry Seaborn – said: "I’ve always wanted to get my kids’ handprints on me so I’ll have to wait for that."

The ‘Castle on the Hill’ hitmaker also revealed he is looking forward to becoming a dad one day.

He shared: "I wanted to be a dad, like, last year. I’m ready, let’s go – tour bus babies, little fat, chubby babies that just walk around."
