Ed Sheeran looks pretty pleased with himself as he leaves Michelin-starred restaurant with a tiny gift box in hand

Ed Sheeran had a big smile on his face as he was pictured leaving trendy Michelin-starred restaurant Core in Notting Hill on Sunday.

The famous singer, and songwriter, 32, was hard to spot because he was so well wrapped-up from the cold. 

He was carrying a tiny gift box in his hand, which was artfully decorated with green ribbon as he headed off home. 

Ed was dressed in all-black for the outing. wearing a practical looking coat with the hood up and matching trousers.

Core by Clare Smyth, is an elegant fine-dining restaurant emphasising natural, sustainable food.

According to the restaturant, the restaurant crafts exquisite dishes using the best British produce from dedicated farmers and food producers. 

The outing comes after it was revealed Ed is selling his old clothes to raise money for charity. 

The Shape of You singer has donated 445 items of his worn clothes, including his underwear and a monkey onesie, to a charity shop in his hometown who are now selling the garments on eBay. 

Yet buyers have been warned to be wary of their purchases as some items are reportedly covered in cat hair.

Meanwhile, fans snapping up his underwear are advised not to wear them due to visible ‘white stains’. 

A designer black Versace jumper and shorts set is currently attracting a bid of £107, yet the listing warns: ‘Items are caked in fibres which appear to be cat hair.’

‘Shorts have a white stain, this is visible in the last image.’

The cats seem to have also got a hold of the star’s Love To Lounge Brown Monkey Bodysuit with the description stating: ‘some signs of wear and cat hair present’. 

A range of the hitmaker’s underwear are also up for grabs including some Calvin Klein boxers, briefs and some Primark striped boxers.
