Ed Sheeran has embraced his celebrity status with pride - handing over £21.6million to the taxman in just two years thanks to his ultra-successful live tours.

The Shape Of You singer is paying the equivalent of £29,670 a day - £207,692 a week - in tax after scooping a whopping £108million from his sold-out 2017 and 2018 tours to promote his album Divide.

The multi-millions are paid into his Nathan Cable Touring company, from where HMRC takes 20 percent in corporation tax. But Ed did pay himself a cheeky £17million in dividends, according to his tax bill.
