WATCH: Give me love! Ipswich fan Ed Sheeran barges in on manager Kieran McKenna's post-match interview to give him a bear hug after victory over Watford

Ipswich's Championship clash with Watford attracted some celebrity fans on Tuesday, with Sheeran taking his seat next to Hornets mega fan Sir Elton John in the directors' box at Vicarage Road. Sheeran ended the happier of the two superstars at the end of the game as table-toppers Ipswich ran out 2-1 winners. The musician, sporting an Ipswich Town Christmas jumper, then headed downstairs to greet manager McKenna, interrupting his post-match interview in the process.

WATCH THE CLIP

Sheeran said afterwards: "I sat next to Elton today, he didn't like it!" The popstar also said he'd be in attendance for the East Anglian derby on Saturday, when Ipswich take on Norwich.

WHAT SHEERAN SAID ABOUT THE GAME

Sheeran has been more than happy to show his support for Ipswich. The musician, who hails from Suffolk, has sponsored team shirts since the 2021-22 season and is a regular visitor at Portman Road. Of course Sheeran does have plenty of his own fans, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/lione-messi-family-meet-ed-sheeran/blt6e0a997898eeead7" target="_blank">including the one and only Lionel Messi</a>. The World Cup winner and his family caught up with Sheeran in Miami back in October.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Ipswich's win was their fourth in a row and took the team to the top of the table. It's an impressive achievement for the Tractor Boys, who were playing in League One last season. Sheeran will no doubt be hoping Ipswich can achieve back-to-back promotions and seal a place in the Premier League.
