Perpetual passenger Ed Sheeran has finally splashed out some of his fortune on a car – a Mini Cooper.
The flame-haired crooner took on Top Gear’s Star In A Reasonably Priced Car challenge in January, but as he didn’t hold a licence at the time, he struggled to even keep the vehicle on the track at times.
Now, he is hoping to leave his non-driver status for dust after buying the car, but he still needs to bag himself a licence.
According to The Sun, some of the Thinking Out Loud singer’s famous pals have mocked his choice of wheels for being decidedly un-starry, though.
He said: “I bought my first car the other day. It’s a Mini. I can’t drive, I’m going to learn.
“Harry Styles had a massive go at me. He said, ‘We get it. You’re relatable. Get an Aston Martin’.
“I was like, ‘I don’t really like fast cars’. He said, ‘Stop trying to get in with people’.”
