Rumours that the Shape of You artist could have been in Medway started after a kmfm listener played detective by comparing Instagram stories of four different accounts last Thursday.

They discovered that users had posted the same location tag, a couple of pictures of filming crews, and even a picture of a clapperboard reading "Mahogany x Ed Sheeran".

The news was confirmed by a Dockyard spokesman who said: "As Ed’s team has now released footage, we can confirm that he was filming with us last week for his new album."

Yesterday evening, the star released the first video, Eyes Closed Piano Version, on his social media channels.

He wrote: "Eyes closed piano version out now. I know how you guys always love when I put out a stripped down version of my singles, so this one is for you."

The video shows the singer and songwriter playing his guitar, along with a violinist and pianist, in what looked like an abandoned storehouse.

Also last Thursday, Ed Sheeran posed for pictures at The Hengist Village Bar & Dining Room in Aylesford, near Maidstone.

Posts from the High Street pub on Instagram and Facebook thanked the artist for the "team photo" and saw dozens of comments flooding in.

One person wrote: "He's the hero of selfies," while another said: "He choose well for a great place to eat."

It is not the first time the 32-year-old had been spotted in Kent, as he has also been pictured grabbing some fish and chips in Greatstone on Romney Marsh in 2019.

And the Dockyard is used to hosting famous face – those who have shot films and TV shows there include Tom Cruise, Kathy Burke and Will Ferrell.

Ed's video appears to have been shot in The Tarred Yarn Store which has previously featured in Call the Midwife, Sherlock Holmes and Les Miserables.

Rapper Kayne West also shot a music video there in 2015.
