Following the announcement that Cian would be joining us at Hits Radio Live Manchester, the singer joined Mike and Gemma on their show on Wednesday 25th September.
During the chat, Cian talked about spending time with his friend Ed Sheeran. Cian was Ed's special guest on tour, and the pair have remained friends, the 'Victory' singer admitted he's the "nicest, guy ever".
He told Mike and Gem: "Ed’s the nicest, nicest guy ever. He's so, so lovely, so kind, so humble, so normal. I mean, everything that you've heard and everything that I've said a million times, he's a huge inspiration."
Cian went on to reveal that despite being a huge star, and selling out stadiums around the world, he also makes time for his family, dropping his kids at school. Cian explained: "Ed Sheeran blows my mind. He's like a phenomenon, it's like this guy who somehow managed to be so low key, but is the biggest star in the world.
"And I'm just like, how are you? I think I saw him recently enough, we were at a studio together in the countryside and he was just, you know, talking about dropping his kids to school, Monday to Friday and just like having this kind of life.
"And then he's, like, playing these huge sold-out stadium shows, breaking records on the weekend and I'm like, what is going on? Like, who are you like, how is this? How is this even possible?
“Yeah, he's just the sweetest, most like down to earth guy.”
During the chat, Cian also revealed that he doesn't generally go out partying after a gig, admitting: "I'm pretty chill. Like I don't really party that much. I would lose my voice and I also probably don't know the energy.
"It kind of depends, like a lot of time we'll go on the bus afterwards or it kind of depends on the setup or where we are, where we're going, sometimes you just go straight home or straight to a hotel, sometimes you get on the bus and you know you might have a couple of drinks, just like you know, hang out, eat some food.
"A lot of the time I'll have my dinner after the show because I don't like eating before, but sometimes you gotta party. I feel like the only time I really start to like party is when I go to Ireland, because nobody like lets me go to bed!"
