Ed Sheeran loses song-packed mobile at BRIT Awards

Ed Sheeran spent the night of the BRIT Awards searching for his cell phone after losing the device at the ceremony.

The A Team hitmaker was among the trophy presenters at the music prizegiving in London on Wednesday night, but flew into a panic at the O2 Arena venue when he realised his phone had vanished.

Sheeran admits he was especially concerned because the gadget contained music for his new album.

Speaking to Absolute Radio's Pete Donaldson at the BRIT Awards, he said, "I lost my phone... Not the one I use (for calls) but that (one that) has no signal and has my album on it and it isn't locked."
