But whilst West Yorkshire-born Ed is pleased with the finished product, however, perfecting his moves took a lot of determination.
"Dancing can be the most fun thing in the world," he said. "But in the lead-up to finishing this video, I was so frustrated. I have never wanted to quit something so much.
"At some points, I felt like saying to the choreographers 'You do this, I'm going to stand in the background'."
