Ed Sheeran says Simon Cowell wants him to write again for One Direction

Ed Sheeran has revealed that Simon Cowell is keen on him resuming his working relationship with One Direction.

The singer-songwriter has previously helped write material for the group, such as the single 'Little Things'.

However, he had no input in One Directon's 2013 record 'Midnight Memories' - something which Sheeran told Digital Spy was due to "political" reasons.

He said: "I got called into Simon Cowell's room at Britain's Got Talent. There was some sort of political thing on the last record as to why I didn't get asked and he was explaining that. He basically just said, 'We need some songs', so I'm seeing him next week."

Speaking about having a meeting with the music mogul, Sheeran added:

"He's such a nice guy though, man. I expected him to be this towering presence of fear, but he was really friendly. What I like about him is that he is very business savvy. He's straight to the point. There's no beating around the bush. I don't like it when people beat around the bush."
