The 'Alarm' hitmaker is thrilled to be joining the 26-year-old singer on his dates in support of his hotly-anticipated LP '÷' along with rising star Ryan McMullan.

The 25-year-old pop beauty retweeted Ed's announcement on Twitter, which read: "Opening acts on my UK and Europe tour are and @ryanmcmusic @AnneMarieIAm. They are both fantastic, check them out, you won't regret it (sic)"

She added: "CANT WAITTTTTTTTTTTT (sic)"

The 'Castle on the Hill' hitmaker announced the news shortly after hinting to fans that he will be performing a surprise collaboration at tonight's BRIT awards at London's The O2 where he will debut a new track from his forthcoming album.

Speaking on BBC Radio One on Tuesday (21.02.17) he said:

"I've got two things dropping on Friday that are pretty interesting.

"One that gets debuted at the Brits, which I think people will go a bit nuts for.

"It's something that I think nobody is expecting. I think it'll be decent. I've managed to keep it secret up until now, which is good. But tomorrow night, I think we're the penultimate act [performing]."

Meanwhile, the flame-haired hunk also revealed his excitement for a forthcoming remix to his number one hit 'Shape of You' which he worked on with electronic trio Major Lazer, which he said could be even better than the original.

During an appearance on 'ON With Mario Lopez, he said: "I think that (Major Lazer remix) is going to be as big as the song, it's really really really good."

And in a quick fire question round with the presenter, when asked who his dream collaborator would be, he replied:

"I always enjoy working with Beyonce, so a continuation of that."
