This week on The Late Late Show with James Corden, Carpool Karaoke makes its return with none other than hugely popular singer/songwriter Ed Sheeran joining the show’s host in the car for a stint of carpool like no other. You can check out the sketch in full below:
Driving through Los Angeles, Corden and Sheeran take on songs both old and new from Sheeran’s back catalogue, whilst the singer is also challenged to fit as many Maltesers in his mouth as possible by Corden, when the host hears he once fit 47 in.
Incredibly, Sheeran did better than his previous record, fitting an amazing 55 Maltesers into his mouth before spitting them out onto the side of the road.
Speaking about a time he hit Justin Bieber in the face with a golf club, Sheeran explained: “He came to this really filthy dive bar [with me]. We ended up at this golf club course and he put a golf ball in his mouth and said, ‘Go on, hit it out’.
“I was pretty hammered. I was like, ‘Focus, focus, focus. You can’t hit him, you can’t hit him… I had this driving wedge, and I was like, ‘OK, OK, OK’, and I cracked him across the face.”
He added: “[Bieber] was actually really cool about it, surprisingly. He was like, ‘Oh bro’, and then just carried on.”
Later this week Corden returns to the UK where he will host three episodes of The Late Late Show from Westminster Central Hall. They’ll air on June 7, 8 and 9 on Sky 1 in the UK at 10pm, with the series continuing on CBS in the US.
