Ed Sheeran has deleted his Twitter account only hours after he was criticised for his cameo performance in Game of Thrones.

The singer, who tweeted under the handle @EdSheeran, has erased his entire presence on the site – less than a month after claiming that he was planning to stop using it.
The move comes after he was criticised for making a brief appearance on Game of Thrones, which saw him serenade Arya Stark with a ballad.
One unhappy Game of Thrones fan wrote: “That Ed Sheeran cameo on #GameOfThrones was remarkably awful. Could he have been roasted by a dragon at least?”
Another said: “Oh FUCK OFF why is Ed Sheeran in Game of Thrones? This shit is meant to be a fantasy world and they’ve turned it into one of his music vids.”
Last month, Ed confirmed that he was planning to stop using Twitter altogether – but later retracted his comments in an Instagram post.
“Loads of Hoo-har about me quitting stuff. I haven’t quit anything, I’m just not reading anything, except Harry Potter. Hope everyone had a wonderful July 4th yo”, he wrote.
He is also set to make another guest appearance in a hugely popular TV series – playing Lisa’s love interest in an upcoming episode of The Simpsons.
