Ed Sheeran's Firm Stance: No Strictly Come Dancing for Me

Ed Sheeran has made it clear that he has no interest in participating in the popular BBC show Strictly Come Dancing. Despite his previous ballroom dancing skills showcased in a music video, the chart-topping artist firmly stated that viewers won't see him in sparkly outfits on the dance floor. Ed jokingly referenced the Strictly curse and emphasized his commitment to his marriage as reasons for declining any future involvement in the show.

During the Capital Jingle Ball, Ed mentioned that he enjoys being married and admitted that dancing is not his forte. He highlighted the intense rehearsals he underwent for the ballroom dancing scenes in the Thinking Out Loud music video, comparing it to a hardcore version of Strictly Come Dancing without the television exposure. Despite his dancing abilities, Ed incorporated his wife Cherry's favorite track, Heaven, into his performance as a tribute to her.

Ed's marriage to Cherry, whom he wed in a private ceremony in 2018, has been a significant part of his life. The couple, who have two children together, have maintained a private relationship, with Ed expressing gratitude for Cherry's support as he navigated fame. While Cherry was initially set to appear in Ed's Camera music video, the couple ultimately decided to keep certain aspects of their relationship private, choosing actress Phoebe Dynevor to portray Cherry in the video.

Ed and Cherry's commitment to privacy reflects their desire to keep certain aspects of their relationship out of the public eye. Despite his success as a global superstar, Ed values his personal life and the support he receives from his wife. As fans continue to enjoy Strictly Come Dancing on BBC iPlayer, Ed Sheeran remains focused on his music career and his family, steering clear of the dance floor and the glitz of the popular show.
