With speculation mounting that Ed Sheeran had already tied the knot with fiancee Cherry Seaborn, the singer has denied that he is a married man despite being spotted wearing a band on his ring finger.

Sheeran has been spotted at several performances - including last night's BRIT Awards - with the ring, but now he says he hasn't been wed in secret. Instead, he says, it's an engagement ring.

He told Good Morning Britain: "I’m not married. I’m wearing an engagement ring as well. I feel like, you know, you both should."

Well, he is a modern man, after all.

Question for the gents: would you wear an engagement ring?
