AceShowbiz - Ed Sheeran received a call from the government during a podcast.
The "Bad Habits" hitmaker was filming with "Harry Potter" stars Oliver and James Phelps for their "Normal not Normal" podcast when he had to step away after receiving an urgent call.
He had kept filming for a brief moment after he received the call and could be heard saying, "Wait, wait, wait. Government, government."
Ed was joined by his manager Stuart Camp on the call, who joked that it was "like being called by your teacher" when Ed eventually returned.
He revealed he had been called to check if he was quarantining after recently returning to the U.K. from the United States, where he had been busy promoting his new single after taking a couple of years off.
James joked, "I just had visions of when you're hiding at your mate's house and your mum calls to ask if you're on your own."
Ed Sheeran returned to the top spot on U.K. chart with his new single, knocking Olivia Rodrigo who previously ruled the list with "Good 4 U" down to second place. Meanwhile, The Weeknd's "Save Your Tears" remained steady at three.
"Bad Habits" marked his 10th number one in the country, making him the ninth act in countdown history to score 10 or more chart-toppers. His latest feat tied him with Eminem and Calvin Harris, who also boasted 10 number one singles to date.
