Ed Sheeran has launched a new hot sauce range and he’s called it Tingly Ted’s.

The hot sauce is named is after Sheeran’s own childhood nickname ‘Ted’ and will come in two flavours- Tingly and Extra Tingly.

It’s set to go on sale later this year and it’s fair to say the singer is looking forward to it.

Ed has never been shy about how much he loves sauces- he’s even got a Heinz Tomato Ketchup tattoo on his arm and has previously appeared in a Heinz advert.

Speaking about the new brand, he said: “I love sauces, that’s no secret. But the older I’ve got, the more I love and need spice with every single meal.

“I travel a lot, so having a bottle in my suitcase wherever I go that can spice up any and every meal seemed like a good idea.”

He added: “I knew I didn’t want to do a watery hot sauce, as they usually all get relegated to the same shelf of other random hot sauces. I wanted to make a sauce that took the same pride of place as ketchup.

“I had a year of whittling down the perfect flavours with a great mixing team, and we settled on two absolute belters, the Tingly and the Xtra Tingly. I’ve had them on tour with me recently to try them with all sorts of meals, and there really isn’t anything they don’t go with (except bananas, don’t do that).”

The Bad Habits singer rounded up: “I’m so excited to bring this product out, it’s genuinely something I use every day on all three meals.”

According to Sheeran, Tingly Ted’s has notes of fresh lemon behind a smoky flavour with red jalapeno and capsicum chillies and a mix of herbs and spices “that all infuse together to create a party in your mouth”.
