Ed said, “I was in my fat phase, in America I used to think no carb meant no bread, no fries. I was like ‘I can eat chicken wings‘ and I just ate chicken wings for a year and a half. And I put on 4st (25.4 kg),” Mirror reported.

Ed revealed that he is prone to putting on a lot of weight. Reflecting on his dietary habits, he said, “I don’t have an off switch. If I have one thing to eat, the off switch is there. Like if I have that, then I won’t be like I need to order another and another. If everything is in front of me then I will eat it.”
