Ed Sheeran: 'I didn't write 'Little Things' about Harry Styles' little thing!'

British singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran recently hinted that One Direction heartthrob Harry Styles had leaked his own nude pictures.

The star was visiting New Zealand magazine ZM Online when he was asked a rather intimate question and shared an even more personal answer. The question that prompted the naughty response was sent in by a fan and Sheeran read it aloud, asking himself: "Was ‘Little Things' written about One Direction's little things?"

After a short pause, the 'Lego House' sensation joked that one member of the boyband in particular is very well-endowed and referred to the photos of a man who was rumoured to be Harry Styles, although the singer denied it was him at the time.

He said: "Did you know Harry leaked that picture himself? He leaked his own picture… I think that's amazing. He was just like ‘no one knows, so I'm just gonna tell them.' [Harry] definitely hasn't got a little thing, so no, I did not write ‘Little Things' about little things."

Sheeran, meanwhile, recently gave his opinion on Zayn Malik's recent decision to leave the group and told Australia's Dan and Maz: "If he's not happy... then... but also being a normal 22-year-old's pretty boring [...] All I'm saying is, being a normal 22-year-old probably isn't as fun as being in One Direction - just saying!"
