Ed buys more time

HAS Ed Sheeran splashed the cash on yet another watch? He was snapped last week, right, getting into the spirit of things at the Frankfurt Oktoberfest, and wearing a £100,000 blue Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar timepiece from luxury brand Audemars Piguet. It will add to his immense collection, rumoured to be worth £5.5million. The singer-songwriter, 31, who earned £34 million in 2020-21, recently admitted: ‘It’s like earn a penny, spend a penny with me. As soon as it comes in, it goes out.’ I hope he’s taking more care of the finances at his property company Fat Punt Ltd which, according to new accounts, is £710,000 in the red.
