Pop sensation Ed Sheeran has been seen celebrating Ipswich Town’s promotion to the Premier League while out in Miami.
Ipswich sealed promotion back to the Premier League after a 22-year absence with a comfortable win that also mathematically confirmed Huddersfield’s relegation.
Portman Road partied in earnest once Wes Burns broke the deadlock midway through the first half and Omari Hutchinson added a second goal just after half-time.
Meanwhile, Sheeran was filmed celebrating the 2-0 victory from Miami – where he is currently on tour performing.
He was seen throwing his arms up in the air following the final whistle and even took to Instagram to share a reel.

He captioned it: ‘Back to back promotions for Ipswich. Very emotional. It wasn’t that long ago I was sat at Portman Road watching them lose in League One with 11k people watching.
‘This is huge for the club, huge for the town, and huge for football, showing anything can happen with belief and passion.
‘Congrats to all the players, people at the club, and of course super Kieran. Sorry I can’t be there to celebrate but we don’t want another betting company as the sponsor next season eh. Uppa town. Emotional. See you in the Prem’.
The 33-year-old pop sensation also FaceTimed the squad while they were celebrating in the changing room.
The players jokingly said ‘where are you!?’ to Sheeran, who replied by saying ‘I have to make the money to sponsor the club!’.
However, Sheeran did tell the guys that he would be back in the UK on Wednesday and that he would like to go on a night out with them.

‘I know that being in the Premier League is going to be bring, not just real excitement to the football club, but also real excitement and joy to the town and lift it up, which is really important.’
He went on to add: ‘What’s brilliant about football is it is very unpredictable and you never know what’s going to happen.
‘We’ve seen the top six teams in England fall from grace before and you’ve seen people like Leicester win the league. You never know, if we avoid relegation next season that’s the biggest success for me, but you never know what’s going to happen.’
Sheeran is a global superstar, but is often seen at Portman Road cheering on the Tractor Boys. He once joined Sir Elton John in the stands to watch Ipswich vs Watford.
