Answering questions sent in by children, Ed said: "I definitely spent hours and hours in front of the mirror pretending to be essentially what I am now. Practice makes perfect innit.

"Now I'll sing [my new songs] to my daughter who's not my biggest fan. She just cries."

But there is a silver lining as Ed admitted there are a couple of his hits that Lyra loves. He added: "No, I've got some she likes. She really likes , the marimba sound is good but she doesn't like anything loud or anything belty."
