James Blunt Has Spoken Out About The Cut On Ed Sheeran's Face

So I feel like everyone in the UK has heard about the most British thing ever - when Princess Beatrice was reportedly waving a ceremonial sword around, pretending to knight James Blunt and she accidentally whacked Ed Sheeran and left a bit cut on his face, right?

Even Ed himself gave the game away when he appeared on The Graham Norton Show. Although he was very careful to not actually tell the story himself, he pretty much confirmed the events. However, rather than blame a princess, Ed jokingly decided to blame James Blunt, saying: "It was James Blunt. It was James Blunt trying to get his pop career back."

Well, now James Blunt has appeared on the exact same show and given his side of the story... kind of.

As far as we all know, Ed was rushed to A&E and then came back to the party to carry on having a good time.

However, Blunt said: "If he said his face got cut while she was 'knighting' me then dashed to A&E before returning to the party, then he is a liar!

"For a start, she is a princess and would be rehearsed and practiced in these matters, and given the NHS waiting lists it would have been impossible to get to hospital and back so quickly!"

Bit of a dig at the NHS but okay. He's banter so I'll let him carry on.

He also spoke out about how much hate he gets himself on Twitter and some of his best responses...
