Ed Sheeran Teams Up With Elton John For Naked Photo Shoot

Ed Sheeran has revealed that he is taking part in a naked photo shoot to help raise money for Elton John's Aids Foundation

The singer, who released his debit album last month, admitted that he's lost three stone (19kg) since January.

"I'm not a very confident guy when it comes to taking clothes off," Sheeran told BBC Newsbeat.

"I've been persuaded for Elton John's charity to do a naked photo shoot. So ladies, lock up your daughters."

He added: "I think it's all going to be part of a catalogue that's going to be sold to raise money. A lot of people are doing it."

Meanwhile, the video for this year's Children In Need charity single, which features Tulisa Contostavlos and Ed Sheeran, has been unveiled.

The track, a cover of Massive Attack's 'Teardrop', also features Wretch 32, Ms Dynamite, Tinchy Stryder, Rizzle Kicks and Labrinth.
