:00:19. > :00:24.Hello and welcome to The One Show with Jon Richardson... And Angela
:00:25. > :00:28.Scanlon. Tonight we are joined by one of the biggest stars on the
:00:29. > :00:35.planet. He released his third album,
:00:36. > :00:39.'Divide' and tonight performing twice, it's the unand only, Ed
:00:40. > :00:42.Sheeran! # When I was six years
:00:43. > :00:45.old I broke my leg # I was running from my
:00:46. > :00:47.brother and his friends # Tasted the sweet perfume
:00:48. > :00:53.of the mountain grass I rolled down # Made friends and lost
:00:54. > :01:11.them through the years # Driving at 90
:01:12. > :01:26.down those country lanes # And I miss the way
:01:27. > :01:35.you make me feel, and it's real # When we watched the sunset over
:01:36. > :01:45.the castle on the hill # Fifteen years old and smoking
:01:46. > :01:52.hand rolled cigarettes # Running from the law
:01:53. > :01:54.through the backfields # Had my first kiss
:01:55. > :02:00.on a Friday night, # I don't reckon I did it
:02:01. > :02:04.right # And buy cheap spirits
:02:05. > :02:18.and drink them straight # Me and my friends have not thrown
:02:19. > :02:21.up in so long, # Driving at 90
:02:22. > :02:34.down those country lanes # And I miss the way
:02:35. > :02:58.you make me feel, # When we watched the sunset over
:02:59. > :03:23.# One's just barely getting by
:03:24. > :03:30.# And I can't wait to go home
:03:31. > :03:40.# I still remember these old country lanes
:03:41. > :03:46.# When we did not know the answers,
:03:47. > :03:50.# And I miss the way you make me feel, it's real
:03:51. > :04:20.# When we watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
:04:21. > :04:35.APPLAUSE. Absolutely wonderful. Still to come a world exclusive,
:04:36. > :04:39.when the man performs his new single single 'Supermarket Flowers'.
:04:40. > :04:43.At a school in Essex, there's beenen unusual delivery. We're trying to
:04:44. > :04:52.use this beast to create some real high art. And I'm not talking about
:04:53. > :04:56.the pretentious kind! These are living photographs, pictures formed
:04:57. > :05:03.by vast crowds of soldiers, photographed from a tower. Created
:05:04. > :05:08.in America in 1917, they were shot by Essex-born photographer, Arthur
:05:09. > :05:13.Mole. He had moved to America to join a religious community and his
:05:14. > :05:18.first pictures had sacred themes. But the talent was spotted by the
:05:19. > :05:22.military who wanted to show off strength and unity during the war.
:05:23. > :05:33.Although in the States no-one has heard of his birthplace of L Bexton.
:05:34. > :05:37.Well, we are putting that right. I have teamed up with photographer
:05:38. > :05:47.Carl Taylor to create a living photograph of himself in his home
:05:48. > :05:57.town. This is a real challenge.
:05:58. > :06:00.Mole used up to 30,000 people for his photographs, we have 650
:06:01. > :06:05.students from Bexley College. If they is what they are like today, I
:06:06. > :06:12.wonder what they are like tomorrow! But that's the least of our worries,
:06:13. > :06:17.to take the living photo, Carl will be over 50 feet high.
:06:18. > :06:22.We are trying to use Arthur Mole's original technique. This is how he
:06:23. > :06:27.may have done it on the back of his glass screen. Remember this was 100
:06:28. > :06:33.years ago. We don't have the same. We have a modern camera but I'm
:06:34. > :06:38.going to use the small acer tape which I insert to my camera, so I
:06:39. > :06:41.can see the image that we need on the ground, so the technique will be
:06:42. > :06:46.very similar. Wow. Great. Great. Before we get
:06:47. > :06:53.started there is time for a quick art lesson. As the images recede in
:06:54. > :06:58.the distance, they get smaller! What is clever about what he did is that
:06:59. > :07:02.the Statue of Liberty doesn't get smaller from the base to the tip of
:07:03. > :07:09.the torch, it would have been about half a mile. There are 17 people at
:07:10. > :07:14.the base but in the torch alone, there are 12,000 people! We've only
:07:15. > :07:19.got 650. But it take as whole day to mark out the image on the ground. By
:07:20. > :07:24.the time we're ready, the weather is threatening to ruin everything.
:07:25. > :07:27.It's getting a bit windy, if this starts swaying around we are heading
:07:28. > :07:36.back down. Let's roll! Come in, come in. One,
:07:37. > :07:43.two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Come on, we need more of you.
:07:44. > :07:47.Lots more! Come on! Puff yourself in there.
:07:48. > :07:53.I hope we've got enough kids! Keep coming! This is where most of the
:07:54. > :07:58.kids are used up in the hair. In the stretched perspective from where we
:07:59. > :08:02.see it, it looks a short distance but on the ground it's a long
:08:03. > :08:08.distance. A century ago, most techniques
:08:09. > :08:11.showed the might of America's army, today it's unioning an entire
:08:12. > :08:13.school. Three, two, one, cheese!
:08:14. > :08:24.ALL SPEAK AT ONCE Cheese! Fantastic! I think we did
:08:25. > :08:31.it, Adebanji, I think we've nailed it.
:08:32. > :08:36.Our living photo of Arthur Mole, no longer forgotten about in Lexton.
:08:37. > :08:42.Give yourselves another round of applause! It's quiet in the studio!
:08:43. > :08:49.Can with you get a round of applause for Ed Sheeran, please! He's inside!
:08:50. > :08:52.Ed, it's been a big day. We have something very, very special for
:08:53. > :08:58.you. Do you want to do the honour, Jon?
:08:59. > :09:06.Yes. Now, you sang a song, 'Lego House'. We are a fan. Angela has
:09:07. > :09:14.nothing to do last evening. Wow, did you do that? I may or may
:09:15. > :09:21.not have done it! That's incredible. That is over 4,000 pieces in there.
:09:22. > :09:26.Can I keep that?! Yes, it's yours! You can keep it later. We were
:09:27. > :09:32.afraid you could smash it. You are interested in art, right? Yes.
:09:33. > :09:37.You designed the album art cover in Damien Hirst' studio.
:09:38. > :09:42.Yeah, there you go. There was one day I was trying to think what to do
:09:43. > :09:47.for an album cover. I knew I wanted it bright blue. I had been there and
:09:48. > :09:51.visited it before. I had seen he had the huge spinning machine for his
:09:52. > :09:57.spin paintings. So I, he luckily, allowed me to go there. We got
:09:58. > :10:03.dressed up in the jump suits and he just gave me loads of blue paint
:10:04. > :10:09.buckets and I just lobbed them. He let you loose in his studio? Yep.
:10:10. > :10:17.I got covered in paint and he sent them to me. He was really sweet.
:10:18. > :10:23.When you said that he used them for his spin paintings, I'm assuming he
:10:24. > :10:30.does not just "lob" paint?! Well, his are more planned.
:10:31. > :10:39.And he drew a tattoo as well? He drew a shark. I got it tattooed.
:10:40. > :10:43.Where is it? On the ribs. So you get a tattoo to mark key
:10:44. > :10:48.events in your life. That is exciting. The first album in three
:10:49. > :10:53.years. I have had the 'Divide' tattoo since
:10:54. > :10:58.2011. Just under the watch. Sorry, what
:10:59. > :11:02.was the question before that? You have 12 songs from three years, how
:11:03. > :11:06.does it come about? Lots of whittling down. Every time I thought
:11:07. > :11:12.that the album was done, I would leave it a bit. Then came back and
:11:13. > :11:19.realised I could do better. So I kept adding and taking away.
:11:20. > :11:23.A lot of maths! Smart! It got to the point where had someone not just
:11:24. > :11:29.taken the album and put it out, I could have done that forever. I
:11:30. > :11:35.didn't know when the album was done. So So someone took it.
:11:36. > :11:40.Who tells you? Time! I said I wanted to release it on the 1st of January.
:11:41. > :11:43.So it had to happen. But I had Castle On The Hill recorded and done
:11:44. > :11:51.for about two years. We never thought it would be a single.
:11:52. > :11:56.Right, and Multily, your last album, sold 14 million coppice, you had a
:11:57. > :12:00.target this time, is that right? It was ten.
:12:01. > :12:11.You exceeded that. You did millions! Right! I reckon this time... I would
:12:12. > :12:16.like my main target to break France. It was the last market. I never
:12:17. > :12:21.really broke it on Plus or Multiply. It is just starting on this record.
:12:22. > :12:32.So I would throve break France. Why why Why is that? They have a big
:12:33. > :12:38.domestic artists. So 90% is French artists or you are competing with
:12:39. > :12:43.Rihanna, Justin Bieber. So the business side of things you
:12:44. > :12:47.have to take seriously? I spend a lot of time creatively creating
:12:48. > :12:56.something. I don't let business get involved in that. I make what I am
:12:57. > :13:01.happy with. But in my mind I'm like, why not have the whole world hear
:13:02. > :13:05.it. It is like a dirty word to say that I check statistics and figures,
:13:06. > :13:11.people might say that is not real. But it is about the music, so why
:13:12. > :13:15.not want the whole world to hear it. I don't understand why someone would
:13:16. > :13:20.make an album and then just say, cool.
:13:21. > :13:26.Stick it in the glove compartment! It makes sense.
:13:27. > :13:31.And you managed to make the album without a phone, that is what blue
:13:32. > :13:40.my mind. And Thinking Out Loud.
:13:41. > :13:45.The most popular wedding dance ever. On the first record, the A Team was
:13:46. > :13:51.such a big song. I thought I would never write a bigger song. There was
:13:52. > :13:56.a cloud over me. Then I shattered that. It was possible. So Thinking
:13:57. > :14:00.Out Loud was bigger than anyone thought it would be. I thought with
:14:01. > :14:04.this song, I think it is better, bigger.
:14:05. > :14:10.Which is the song you are talking about? It is called Perfect.
:14:11. > :14:15.It feels perfect to you? Yeah. That was the first song I wrote for the
:14:16. > :14:21.album. The first song I finished for it. My brother composed the strings.
:14:22. > :14:24.That was the first time we worked together. He is a classical
:14:25. > :14:28.composer. We asked you to get in touch and
:14:29. > :14:33.tell us the stories behind your first dance. As always, you didn't
:14:34. > :14:39.disappoint. As our whole wedding was movie
:14:40. > :14:44.themed, the only dance we could do was the dance from Dirty cap
:14:45. > :14:48.dancing. This happened about ten years ago, no-one was learning to
:14:49. > :14:52.dance for first dances. Learning to dance was daunting. It
:14:53. > :14:58.took us about six months. Six months.
:14:59. > :15:03.We put it on YouTube so our friends in America could see.
:15:04. > :15:07.The next morning I'm going to work and there's a girl sitting next to
:15:08. > :15:11.me and suddenly there is a huge photograph of you and me... It was a
:15:12. > :15:17.full page. I asked her to swap newspapers, she
:15:18. > :15:23.asked why... Because, that was me! That began months and months of
:15:24. > :15:31.newspapers, magazines, from all around the world. And my friend rang
:15:32. > :15:37.and then I was like, they want to fly us out to do Oprah Winfrey. I
:15:38. > :15:41.remember walking out and chatting to opera, and she asked us to do the
:15:42. > :15:45.dance. We were dancing and the audience
:15:46. > :15:53.clapping along and then they started to go mad. I am thinking we are not
:15:54. > :16:02.that good. Then I saw Patrick Swayze asking to cut in.
:16:03. > :16:07.I am taken over with Patrick. And I shouted let's do the lift. So he did
:16:08. > :16:11.the lift with me. We met at uni.
:16:12. > :16:18.Nick became ill Christmas 2013. . He was rushed to hospital. We
:16:19. > :16:25.realised he had lost his sight. They said it was cancer.
:16:26. > :16:32.I remember visiting Nick at the hospital and hearing a song on the
:16:33. > :16:35.radio, and linking the song to us, thinking we were perfect
:16:36. > :16:41.imperfections. We got a dance teacher to help us out.
:16:42. > :16:46.When we were practicing, the farmer drove past and stopped. Saying it
:16:47. > :16:48.was really nice to see young people dancing like in the olden days.
:16:49. > :16:57.Oh, my God! I think the first dance for us was
:16:58. > :17:00.symbolic because it was the first time our friends and family had seen
:17:01. > :17:06.us do something normal since Nick became ill. I wasn't a leading Nick,
:17:07. > :17:07.the roles had reversed, Nick was being a gentleman and leading his
:17:08. > :17:18.lady. We had an Irish theme running
:17:19. > :17:23.through the wedding and Dominik came up with the idea of having a bit of
:17:24. > :17:26.an Irish jig. Off I went teaching two left feet peak in the living
:17:27. > :17:34.room every night. Shouting at him to get it right. -- two left feet
:17:35. > :17:39.sheet. At one point, the wife fell over. Me being a true but I carried
:17:40. > :17:44.on so if she got back up and joined in she would know where she was up
:17:45. > :17:50.to. There was a fireman in the room who came to the rescue. I knew she'd
:17:51. > :17:54.be in good hands. He couldn't have done anything right, if you'd stops
:17:55. > :17:58.to pick me up I would have shouted at him for getting out of time, if
:17:59. > :18:03.he hadn't have picked me up, which he didn't, that was wrong, too. That
:18:04. > :18:08.it with being a married man, you can't do anything right. That's how
:18:09. > :18:13.you do it if the wife takes a tumble, she's on her own. My wife
:18:14. > :18:17.whispered to me in our first dance, she said, stop spinning, you're
:18:18. > :18:21.making me feel sick. That's romantic, isn't it? You're not just
:18:22. > :18:24.there for the wedding is coming you were there from the beginning, you
:18:25. > :18:28.are on record with the most romantic date ever where no fewer than five
:18:29. > :18:37.people got engaged at your gig. Pressure. I remember that. It's a
:18:38. > :18:41.weird thing because it just started happening after Thinking Out Loud
:18:42. > :18:45.came out. You'd just here in the middle of a quiet song an eruption
:18:46. > :18:50.of applause and screaming, I'd be like... I didn't do anything.
:18:51. > :18:55.Playing the O2 Arena in London, it happened five times in one song. By
:18:56. > :19:01.the end of it I had clocked. Getting annoying.
:19:02. > :19:10.For me, it's such an honour to have someone pick such a special moment,
:19:11. > :19:15.either to one of my songs, at one of my concerts. It's going to stay...
:19:16. > :19:19.Even if I die and my music dies, it's always that person's memory.
:19:20. > :19:23.Even if they get divorced they will remember that song forever. I wonder
:19:24. > :19:34.if anyone here got engaged at that very concert. Surely not! Lauren and
:19:35. > :19:39.Tom everybody! Congratulations. How did it happen? What did you do? I
:19:40. > :19:48.got down on my during give me Love and proposed. We were number three.
:19:49. > :19:51.You didn't get wobbly when you heard two eruptions? Slightly but I knew I
:19:52. > :19:55.wanted to do it that night. Did you get annoyed when the first people
:19:56. > :20:02.did it before you? God, that has dropped me in it. Kind of stole my
:20:03. > :20:08.thunder. When's the wedding? 10th of August. How plans coming along?
:20:09. > :20:16.Going good, bit stressful but I have my dress and everything. What about
:20:17. > :20:21.the first dance? Tenerife C. Who sings that?
:20:22. > :20:29.They've left a guitar next to me, I think... Here is your chance to
:20:30. > :20:37.rehearse it. Shall we know where the lights.
:20:38. > :20:41.# You look so wonderful in that address
:20:42. > :20:44.# I love your hair like that # The way it falls on the side of
:20:45. > :20:52.your neck # Down your shoulders and back
:20:53. > :20:57.# We are surrounded by all of these lies and people that talk too much
:20:58. > :21:03.# You've got the kind of look in your eyes as if no one knows
:21:04. > :21:06.anything but us # Should this be the last thing I
:21:07. > :21:19.see, I wanted to know... #. APPLAUSE Congratulations, of course, to
:21:20. > :21:24.Lauren and Tom. Another special performance from Ed later. First,
:21:25. > :21:26.here is our street barber Michael Douglas and this film was
:21:27. > :21:29.tailor-made for Ed and me. Around one in ten of us Britons
:21:30. > :21:32.belong to a very special and quite Today, I'm going to explore what's
:21:33. > :21:38.on the heads and in the minds All shades of red are gathering
:21:39. > :21:47.here at the Candid Arts Trust in London for music,
:21:48. > :21:49.art and a sense of community. It feels like I'm in the middle
:21:50. > :21:52.of a real social movement. There is a great kind of spirit
:21:53. > :21:58.about this whole event, Yeah, everyone is really friendly
:21:59. > :22:06.and I don't know if it stems But there is one experience
:22:07. > :22:13.all redheads seem to have in common. Being singled out at school
:22:14. > :22:19.because of their hair. I, ironically, was bullied
:22:20. > :22:22.by a ginger girl. I got the comments from
:22:23. > :22:31.other people but also... I don't know if she was
:22:32. > :22:33.trying to deflect any It could be psychologically
:22:34. > :22:37.that backwards. Being a redhead makes you different
:22:38. > :22:43.without even trying. So I think it is embracing
:22:44. > :22:46.what makes you stand out. In the past few decades,
:22:47. > :22:56.ginger has gone from a hair colour that hardly dare speak its name
:22:57. > :22:59.to being out and proud. There is a host of celebs
:23:00. > :23:04.who are glad to be red. One of the speakers today
:23:05. > :23:07.is Jacky Colliss Harvey. She has written a history
:23:08. > :23:10.of the redhead and at the root of it My mum has blonde hair,
:23:11. > :23:24.my father's hair was dark. When I arrived I was
:23:25. > :23:28.a great surprise. But this one gene is enough
:23:29. > :23:32.to mark you out for life. There is this thing
:23:33. > :23:34.called the ginger look. If two redheads spot each other,
:23:35. > :23:42.we always make eye contact. And sometimes we exchange a little
:23:43. > :23:45.comment as well, like, "great hair". It has been estimated that
:23:46. > :23:49.40% of the population of the United Kingdom
:23:50. > :23:52.are carrying the gene. It most definitely is not
:23:53. > :23:54.going to become extinct. That is one of the great
:23:55. > :23:56.myths about red hair. I just hope she doesn't say that
:23:57. > :24:02.when she sees her hair. Of course, there is one way
:24:03. > :24:13.in which red hair is just It loses its colour
:24:14. > :24:20.as it gets older. Someone who knows this
:24:21. > :24:24.all too well is stand-up performer and sitcom writer,
:24:25. > :24:26.Paul Kerensa. And this is the me I would
:24:27. > :24:31.like to get back to. If you could make that happen,
:24:32. > :24:33.that would be fantastic! It's part of me, it's
:24:34. > :24:38.part of my identity. I feel a bit self-conscious by not
:24:39. > :24:43.being ginger here today. It's nice to see the tables
:24:44. > :24:45.turned, absolutely. I am expecting to be bullied at any
:24:46. > :24:49.minute for being mousey brown! I have always been ginger
:24:50. > :25:12.and my hair has been And so today I thought
:25:13. > :25:16.I would dye my hair! Over a thousand gingers have
:25:17. > :25:19.embraced Redhead Day. They have been entertained,
:25:20. > :25:22.educated and, who knows, It's fair to say I felt
:25:23. > :25:59.a bit left out today. # He's got to be sure, he's got to
:26:00. > :26:05.be soon # He's got to be larger than life
:26:06. > :26:14.# Larger than life # What's he doing now? Mind my
:26:15. > :26:19.canary! A massive thank you to my co-host, Jon. Thank you to you,
