Singer Ed Sheeran has quit Twitter after facing nasty comments from online trolls.

The Shape of You star says every time he logs onto Twitter, he ends up seeing negative tweets.

“I go on it and there’s nothing but people saying mean things. Twitter’s a platform for that. One comment ruins your day. But that’s why I’ve come off it. The [expletive] for me has been trying to work out why people dislike me so much,” says Sheeran.

The 26-year-old says he is kept in check by “people like my dad”, so he doesn’t need it from strangers.

In November 2012, singer Adele also temporarily quit Twitter after she received death threats directed towards her and her baby.
