Ed also shared the inspiration behind the pub, explaining that it was his way to relive his early years when he used to "let loose" and go to the pub to "blow off steam". However, due to security concerns, he could no longer do that, so instead, he decided to build his own pub in his England home.

"So there was a dilapidated barn on my land, so I was like we could just turn it into a pub and I bought an old pub off eBay," Sheeran said.

Besides the pub, Ed Sheeran has also built a chapel on his property. He explained that its purpose was to spend quality time with his family, away from the spotlight. He recalled spending special moments in the chapel, including having his security guy get married there.

"I know it sounds weird to build an infrastructure on your property where you don't have to leave it but I feel like there are certain moments you want to spend with your family and not have someone filming you while you're doing it, especially like Christmas or memorial or there's just certain like intimate moments you want to have like that," Ed explained.

Ed Sheeran continued:

"I let other people enjoy, like my security guy got married in my chapel and that was like really lovely."

Further in the session, Alexandra Cooper asked Ed to share his most embarrassing drunk night out story. Ed opened up about a night that he had never shared on camera before, recalling how he ended up peeing in a hotel corridor, completely naked, and went to the lobby to ask the staff to let him get back in the room.

Ed Sheeran admitted that he asked his security guard to remove the CCTV footage, and after the mishap, he went back to his room and fell asleep.

"I went back to bed, cuz I was like nothing's going to change the fact that that just happened, you know I messaged my security guard and I was like "Please can you wipe the footage?" But yeah I was sort of like nothing's going to change and also like it's a very human mistake," Ed Sheeran said.

"It was very much sort of like you could see their eyes widen and be like you're me, going "Please just don't ask and don't tell anyone."

Elsewhere in the podcast, Ed mentioned that he has stayed off alcohol. He explained that, due to his album release and constant travel around the world, he did not want to "add an extra layer of tiredness on that." This decision helped him feel more energized and relaxed.
