James Blunt jokingly told Ed Sheeran he gave him herpes. The 41-year-old singer presented the flame-haired star with an ARIA award at the ceremony in Australia on Wednesday night and joked the Lego House hitmaker had contracted the viral disease from a bottle of beer he stole from him. While collecting the accolade to honour his success in the country, Ed recalled: "I went to one of James' gigs when I was 14 at the Cambridge Junction, and I stole his bottle of Corona - and there was 20 people in the crowd, and he went on to sell 20 million records, which is alright, isn't it?" And James - who is often making witty remarks to fans on Twitter - quickly replied: "That's where you got the herpes from, mate." Ed, 24, played along with the joke, adding: "It still itches."
