Satsuma-haired Galway Girl warbler Ed Sheeran has angrily hit back at claims he built railings around his mansion in order to stop rough sleepers.
The singer was forced to deny allegations he built 5ft railings to prevent homeless people sleeping nearby after the story hit the press.
Ed responded to the claims with an angry Instagram message rant (very 2018) to his 21.5 million followers.
Addressing the publication directly, Ed wrote 'Your story is b*****.
"I have done lots of work in the past for crisis and shelter and would never build railings outside my home for that reason.
"The reason was to keep the paps that you employ from being on my doorstep. Have a good day.

Celebrity red carpet transformations
1 of 15Amy Childs
In the early TOWIE days, the red head's uniform of choice was a diamante-encrusted babydoll dress and lashings of fake tan.
2 of 15Binky Felstead
Bink's red carpet debut is miles away from her current aesthetic - which is very 'glowy, yummy mummy who is perennially sipping kale juice'.
3 of 15Cheryl
Yeah sure, 'Cheryl full stop' is happy and living 'in a bubble of love', but Cheryl Tweedy had STYLE. Those hoop earrings and flesh-baring mini dress? We are so into it.
4 of 15Kardashian family
Hold on, one minute! Before 'miracle' creams and contour palettes, the Kardashian family look normal? There is hope for us all!
5 of 15Holly Hagan
ERRR... HOLLY IS THAT YOU?! We haven't seen a transformation this drastic since the Peter Beale days.
6 of 15Jennifer Lawrence
A young J-Law used to have a penchant for waist-clinching belts and shirt dresses. Very Gok Wan, if we say so ourselves.
7 of 15Katy Perry
You know that annoying moment when you have overslept and have a glitzy award ceremony to attend? And getting changed out of your pjs is too much effort? Yeah that.
8 of 15Rihanna
Oooh the wrath of teenage rebellion! Bad Gal Ri Ri has always been one to showcase her edgy side.
9 of 15Kendall and Kylie Jenner
Kendall and Kylie have always been a fan of matching their red carpet assembles -* even* if it is cropped waistcoats and neon pink tights. Kudos to the bravery, girls.
10 of 15Charlotte Crosby
Charlotte Crosby didn't always look so perfectly preened, but that's why we love her, right?
11 of 15Gemma Collins
Remember when Miss Collins used to be a brilliant brunette? US NEITHER. Thank you internet.
12 of 15Gigi Hadid
Of course there isn't a bad picture of Gigi anywhere on the internet. She looks BABEIN'.
13 of 15Rita Ora
Rita's look has gone in full circle and has now opted for her natural curls and caramel hue. We are uh-bsessed.
14 of 15Selena Gomez
Selena has come A LONG WAY from her polka-dotted sartorial horror. Now she's one of the best dressed gals in pop.
15 of 15Victoria Beckham
We don't know about you, but we are LOVIN' young VB's look. The cut out white kick-flares, the halter neck... THE SMILE.
The Sun reported that his planning application cited “preventing opportunities for rough sleeping,” when proposing the railings.
Ed's spokesperson added: "This is a standard planning application, which was not written by Ed, and it is not reflective of Ed’s views or feelings on homelessness.
This backlash is hardly surprising as Ed has previously shared how he used to sleep rough as a teenage musician.
Ed has referenced his troubled past with lyrics such as, '“It’s not a homeless night for me/ I’m just home less than I used to be.”
