A lot of people (myself included) thought that Ed Sheeran was being a bit of a pussy earlier this week when he deleted his Twitter account following a public backlash over his cameo appearance in ‘Game Of Thrones’, but the singer has come out to deny that the deletion had anything to do with this.

Taking to Instagram to explain his actions (v. hip), Sheeran explained that it was just a coincidence that he deleted Twitter at that time and he had been planning on doing it for a while now:

Yeah I mean in fairness to the guy he did say that he had stopped looking at it a while ago, but it’s still kind of a coincidence that he did end up deleting it just at the time he was getting the most obscene abuse ever on it. Just saying.
