AceShowbiz - Ed Sheeran avoids using public urinals, because he hates seeing fans try to sneak a peek at his manhood.
The "Shivers" star admitted during a chat with Dax Shepard on the "Armchair Expert" podcast that he prefers to use a cubicle when he needs the loo because he's learned the hard way that it's the best method of avoiding nosey fans.
"My rule usually is I don't go to urinals," he said. "There will be 20 urinals and I will stand at an end one and someone will come and stand right next to me just to have a look. So my rule is I usually don't."
Ed knows from experience how awkward it can be standing next to someone famous while using a urinal.
"I met Kit Harington and Richard Madden, both in urinals," he laughed. "You're there and you're like, 'Oh my God. This is kind of awkward. I'm next to Jon Snow.' Not knowing that he's thinking 'Oh my God, this is so awkward.' "
Ed Sheeran is preparing to head back on tour next year after releasing his latest studio installment "=". Unlike his previous jaunts, he will be joined by his wife and daughter this time around, "I'm bringing my family with me."
He also planned to scale back his life on the road after completing the latest trek, "My daughter is one and when she starts school I'm going to want to be settled and I'm not going to want to go on a five-year world tour."
"So now is the time to do it. I'm going to do it until she turns five or six and then stop. Then I think I'll tour in school holidays."
