Clothing worn by Ed Sheeran is to be auctioned off to raise money for children’s charity East Anglian Children’s Hospices.

There are 70 items worn by the music megastar including a T-shirt he wore for a magazine photoshoot in 2012 and tops he has been pictured in alongside fellow musician Taylor Swift, plus a tour T-shirt with signed postcard.

Ed, 26, has been an EACH Ambassador since 2014 and helped the charity, which cares for children and young people with life-threatening conditions and supports their families, bring in thousands of pounds.

He has also paid a visit to EACH’s Treehouse hospice in Ipswich, which is close to his family home in Framlingham.

Jason High, EACH eBay manager, said: “The money we’re able to raise from auctioning Ed’s clothes is invaluable to us.

“We have eBay customers from all over the world taking part, which helps us get the maximum amount possible.

“I’d like to make special mention to Brandbank, which kindly took the professional pictures of Ed’s clothes that you see on our eBay store.”

The clothes will be auctioned in phases on eBay, with 20 items for sale from today until April 2.

Another 20 are available between March 30 and April 9 with 15 on offer between April 6 and April 16.

A final 15 are up for grabs between April 13 and April 23.

Each phase will start and finish at around 6pm.

This auction comes just four months after another that featured the Burberry suit jacket Ed wore to the 2013 Grammy Awards. It and more than 100 other items of clothing raised £8,060.

Following that, in November, Ed made his hotly-anticipated return to music by performing exclusively for EACH at a gala dinner in London’s Natural History Museum.

He has since gone on to release his third studio album, ÷, which has broken all manner of records.
