Ed Sheeran tour support act Calum Scott says gig is 'mind blowing'

Earlier this year, Scott performed with Take That at the King's Coronation Concert at Windsor Castle

Former Hull council worker Calum Scott had to "pinch himself" after securing a slot on Ed Sheeran's world tour.

Scott said the six-month support gig was "an incredible opportunity" to tour with the star.

The singer, who reached the final of Britain's Got Talent in 2015, performed with Take That at the King's Coronation concert in May.

He said Gary Barlow had also messaged him to say "how proud he and the boys were" of him.

The 35-year-old is supporting Sheeran on his world tour, performing in Europe and Asia in 2024.

He told BBC Look North: "I am pinching myself all the time - every time I speak to you I say the same thing, but having these moments in time, I just feel so incredibly lucky.

"To tour with Ed Sheeran for six months - three months in Europe and three months in Asia - is pretty mind blowing," he said.

"When I was working for the council, these were the kind of moments I dreamt of. The fact that they've come true and to tour with Ed is unbelievable."
