Ed Sheeran has given up smoking for a whole year and the singer celebrated his achievement on Instagram.

The "Shape of You" hitmaker took to his social media account to celebrate the fact that he had managed 365 days without puffing on a cigarette.

Sheeran vowed to give up the habit back in 2017 because he wanted to shed some weight.

''Celebrating one year being a non smoker today (sic)'' the 27-year-old singer wrote alongside a black-and-white photograph of him performing on stage.

Sheeran took a year-long hiatus from the limelight in 2016 because he wanted to travel without a schedule and spend time with his loved ones, but admitted that his time out had made him gain weight.

"I chain-smoked. I drunk a lot of alcohol and ate very unhealthy and I just kind of cut 39 percent if that out. I still do all those things, but my dad said, 'Everything in moderation'. I just basically needed to moderate,'' he said after his comeback.
