‘Goodbye my love the leading role.’;

‘I made a post earlier saying that Liam Payne is next but I thought this would be a good time for you to post (laughing emoji)’;

‘Legend.’

This comes after England’s stars were treated to a private performance from Ed as they enjoyed some time off from their Euro 2024 campaign.

The singing sensation was filmed performing a cover of The A-Team for the team and staff after a warm-up session on Monday.

Gareth Southgate’s stars prepare for their quarter-final clash with Switzerland on Saturday, and their campaign so far has been less than perfect.

Ed, an Ipswich Town backer who is worth £300m according to the Sunday Times Rich List, has visited the English side in the past.

The 33-year-old, who has been attending England’s matches at this tournament, also paid them a personal visit at Euro 2020 ahead of their final against Italy.

Ed was present for the 1-1 draw with Denmark in the group stage, as well as the thrilling 2-1 win over Slovakia on Sunday.

When the Three Lions were 1-0 down after just 25 minutes, he struggled to hide his shock as the nation feared England could go out of the tournament with a whimper.

The images show the star going through the gamut of emotions, from a blank face resting her chin on her hand to a euphoric celebration.

Ed exclusively revealed to Mail Sport after the match that he felt England would go on to win the Euros.

He was also asked if he had joined other fans in singing the “hey Jude” chant to Jude Bellingham, stating that he had not but promised to do so “next time”.

Three Lions fans were certainly on their toes until Jude Bellingham’s stunning 95th-minute scissor kick that took the game into extra time.

Just a minute into extra time, Harry Kane headed in the winner after Ivan Toney tipped Eberechi Eze’s shot wide.

It came after Ed could not hide his elation as England recovered from an early scare to beat Slovakia 2-1 in a thrilling Euro 2024 last-16 tie on Sunday.
