He said: "In 2021 [for Euro 2020] Harry got me down for the camp and then I met everyone, and I’ve just been to every one since.“It’s been great, it’s been a nice little tradition. Since the first time I played for the lads in 2021 we’ve bonded, so it’s never a tough crowd.”‌The Shape Of You star believes this could be the year for the national side.

I think when you get to the final anyone can win and I think it will be us."Any performance by Ed will come just over a week after the performer stunned guests at a Chicago wedding.
