Watch James Corden rapping in the middle of Ed Sheeran’s “Sing” and the duo cramming their mouths with Maltesers.
The latest Carpool Karaoke episode had a number of Ed Sheeran fans buzzing.
he pop star, along with funnyman host James Corden spent most of the segment singing to Justin Bieber and One Direction songs – as well as showcasing Sheeran’s other, non-musical related talents.
Together, the duo sang snippets of Sheeran hits such as “Shape of You”, “Castle On The Hill” to name a few. The descent to hilarity begins with Corden rapping to Sheeran’s “Sing” before singing to the notable Bieber hit “Love Yourself”.
After all the singing, Corden then challenges the pop musician to a Malteser challenge. To which Sheeran promptly managed to fit 55 chocolate malt balls into his mouth, with ease. Corden, on the other hand, is seen spitting his measly sum of 26 Malteser balls.
Sit back and watch the video above. There’s nothing like a down to earth Carpool Karaoke segment to unwind the day with.
For those interested in the Malteser ball challenge, skip ahead to the 3:30 mark.
The pair also competed over who could fit the most chocolates in their mouth, after Corden heard that Sheeran had previously managed 47.
While the host had to open the car door to spit out his mouthful when he reached 26, Sheeran showed off his extra capacity by fitting in 55 before he too had to spit them out into the gutter.
In between songs, Ed confirmed he still does not have a phone after he announced he was quitting social media and taking a gap year in December 2015.
He said: “I had a phone for two weeks and then I didn’t charge it. It is what it would have been like 30 years ago for our parents.
“I would wake up every morning and there would be like 50 messages and none of them would be ‘Hi, how are you?’
“It would be ‘Can I have this? Can you lend me this? Can you do this? Can I get this?’
“It was fine in the beginning but got really draining by the end of it.”
Ed’s appearance is part of the “all-star line-up” joining Corden as he brings his show to the UK this week.
The three British-based episodes of The Late Late Show will also feature Tom Cruise, Harry Styles and David Beckham as well as Nicole Kidman, Emily Blunt, Kit Harington, Sir Ben Kingsley, Russell Brand, boxer Anthony Joshua and Kings Of Leon.
The show will also feature a Drop The Mic rap battle with The Voice UK judge Jennifer Hudson.
