Chart topping star left fuming over ed sheeran's radio 1 big weekend performance

MUSIC FANS WERE THRILLED WHEN ED SHEERAN MADE AN UNSCHEDULED APPEARANCE AT THE BBC RADIO 1 BIG WEEKEND FESTIVAL OVER THE WEEKEND - BUT A FELLOW MUSIC STAR HAD GOOD REASON TO BE LESS

IMPRESSED 16:18, 25 May 2025Updated 16:18, 25 May 2025 Fans were delighted by Ed Sheeran’s secret set at BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend in Liverpool on Saturday. But there was one person who

was a bit miffed over the unexpected appearance. I hear Tom Odell wasn’t best pleased about the Shape of You star’s surprise performance. Starting his set at 1.30pm on the Main Stage, Ed’s

appearance at 1.15pm on the New Music stage drew the crowds to him - and it didn’t go unnoticed by Tom. “Tom was expecting a big crowd for his performance but when Ed’s show was announced

everyone flocked to his tent and he wasn’t happy,” said one source. Despite the mishap, the Big Weekend festival has been a hit for music fans - as other stars have unexpectedly appeared on

stage. On Friday, Little Bit of Love singer Tom Grennan drove the crowds wild when he invited Spice Girls icon Mel C to join him on stage where they performed a duet of her song, When

You're Gone. Tom said after his set on the Main Stage at Sefton Park: “Mel is a good mate of mine, but she’s a Scouse legend too so it just felt the perfect chance to do something a bit

special together - thankfully she was up for it! "The whole event was just a brilliant experience and getting a few mates out on stage to join me really gave it an extra bit of

something on top, but doing something marking the memory of the Hillsborough victims just felt right. “Mel is such a supporter of that cause too, she really understands what it means to

local people and has been involved with raising money for the support group over the years.” Wearing a retro Everton shirt while Mel wore a 90s Liverpool kit, the pair talked movingly about

“uniting the city” with Tom later adding: “It’s a special city with an amazing history, and obviously an incredible sporting rivalry, so hopefully we managed to get the tone just right.

“There were a few bantery boos from the Everton fans when Mel came out in the retro Liverpool kit, so I ran backstage and changed into an old Everton one to redress the balance, it seemed to

go down well. “Hopefully people had a great time as well as taking a second to remember the 97 people who lost their lives as a result of the Hillsborough disaster.” Tom was also joined by

local rockers The Zutons, YouTuber KSI and pal Ella Henderson. Saturday's line-up saw Sam Fender, Sugababes, Myles Smith and Blossoms take to the stage on the Main Stage. And Canadian

pop babe Tate McRae, American singing sisters HAIM, and British country group Mumford & Sons were among performers taking to the Main Stage on Sunday. Article continues below The Mirror

also caught up with The Saturdays star Mollie King at the music event - with the star appearing days after her triumphant return to the air following her most recent maternity leave. “It’s

so good to be back,” she told me - and said she was made up to be reunited with co-host Matt Edmonson. “I’ve missed this guy. He was the first person to visit and meet the little one.” The

Saturdays star welcomed her second daughter, Lilliana, with cricketer Stuart Broad last December. _FOLLOW MIRROR CELEBS ON_ _TIKTOK_ _,_ _SNAPCHAT_ _,_ _INSTAGRAM_ _,_ _TWITTER_ _,_
