Atonement star Saoirse appears in the video for the single, which was shot in Galway, Ireland, last week.

Ed, 26, said: “When we were filming it I meant to get a tattoo of her handwriting saying Galway Girl from her point of view.

“It actually says Galway Grill. G-R-I-L-L. She really took the p**s out of me — full on.”

He said: “I haven’t actually told anyone that yet.

“I’m actually quite proud of her. It’s the kind of thing I would do.”

They include a Heinz ketchup logo and a teddy bear as a nod to his childhood nickname Teddy.

He also has a lion on his chest to mark his 2015 sell-out gigs at Wembley Stadium.

Galway Girl has enjoyed huge success, peaking at No2 in the UK.

It is currently No3 — with another Ed song, Shape of You, at No2.
