Ed Sheeran is facing a council probe over a new wooden gazebo on his property.

The 30-year-old pop star gave fans and his neighbours a behind-the-scenes look at his Suffolk estate when he posted a jokey video on Instagram of him glugging wine – but the clip appears to have triggered a potential problem.

A source told The Sun newspaper: “It beggars belief that anyone would take the time to phone the council and complain about it but someone has.

“The gazebo was spotted after Ed posted a video of himself in the garden last month talking about his music comeback. It can be seen when he is standing outside his boozer, the Lancaster Lock.

“He had permission to build a bar area, with decking and a pizza oven, along with two barbecues. But whoever complained is saying that the gazebo was never there before.

“Now the council is looking into whether he needs planning permission for it. Because his property is Grade Two listed, all sorts of hoops have to be jumped through if any work is done.”

East Suffolk council has confirmed that it’s investigating the complaints.

The authority said: “We have been made aware that a gazebo has been erected at this property and we are making enquiries to establish if there are any planning requirements.”

Meanwhile, Ed was recently announced as the new sponsor of Ipswich Town, his favourite soccer team.

The pop star – who previously sponsored an under-11 girls team – revealed it took a lot of hard work to strike a deal.

He said: “I started sponsoring Framlingham Town Under-11 girls team, they emailed me … and then I was like, I wonder how it is to sponsor Ipswich?”

Ed knew that the team’s previous sponsorship deal was ending and he was keen to fill the void.

The singer thinks the news has been broadly welcomed because fans know he cares passionately about the team.

He said: “I just enquired, ‘Do you guys need a sponsor?’ and they were like, ‘Yeah for sure.’

“It’s been a long, long process.

“I think the positive reaction stems from the negative reaction from the European Super League.

“It’s like a polar opposite of really, really, really rich people who own a team and monetise a team and people who love a team and want to see it do well.”
