Ed Sheeran made sure his 30th birthday was on to remember! Taking to his Instagram page on Wednesday, the Shape of You hitmaker shared a rare Instagram post, showing off his pirate-themed birthday cake alongside a childhood snap of himself.
Joking that he was currently dressed as a pirate, the singer wrote: "30 today. Thank you for all your wonderful messages, I feel very loved. Currently dressed the same as I was on my 3rd birthday about to chow down on Colin the pirate caterpillar, poor bloke."

Ed and Cherry were married in January 2019 and are incredibly private when it comes to their personal life. The couple were childhood friends and both went to Thomas Mills High School in Framlingham, Suffolk.
