Ed Sheeran has splashed out a whopping £2,000 on children’s toys in Toys R Us – all for himself!

The millionaire acoustic pop sensation said the reason for his spending spree is he wanted to buy all the toys his parents wouldn’t let him have as a kid.

The nostalgic splurge included a pirate ship, roller skates, a plastic Nerf gun, a yo-yo and other assorted items.

Big kid Ed, 24, explained: "As any kid that has good parents will know, when you grow up you're not allowed things. I went into Toys R Us and just spent two grand on everything I wanted when I was younger.

"I was like, 'I was never allowed that pirate ship so I'm having that, wasn't allowed a Nerf gun so I'm having that, I wasn't allowed a scooter so I'm having that.'

"I bought roller skates, a yo-yo, those wheelie shoes . . . I haven't used half of them but it was just that moment that I'm allowed to now. I bought everything."

Amazingly his haul didn’t get there. When he went home he also did an online shop re-buying playthings he owned as a child.

According to the Daily Mirror, he added: "All the stuff I bought in (Toys R Us) is in my house. But then I went on eBay and spent a day looking for the same dolls I had when I was younger and bought all of them as well."
