Ed Sheeran, Richard Curtis and Claudia Jessie have teased a celebratory announcement as they made an unexpected joint appearance on social media.
The Grammy Award winner, 33, the British screenwriter, 68, and Bridgerton star, 35, teamed up Friday to discuss their favorite Christmas movies.
Taking to Instagram, Ed shared a clip of Claudia revealing her favorite favorite movie would be A Muppet’s Christmas Carols – much to the shock of Love Actually screenwriter Richard.
Sharing the clip, Ed teased the surprise trio preparing to make a big announcement, captioning it, “Me, Richard Curtis and Claudia Jessie have something fun for you next week.”
The clip begins with Claudia being asked about her favorite Christmas movie and replying, “A Muppet’s Christmas Carol.”

It’s at this point that Richard appears and you’re heard saying, ‘What the f***? A Muppet Christmas carol?’
Enter Shape Of You hitmaker Ed, who adds: ‘I always watch A Muppets Christmas Carol before Love Actually.’
“Ohhh okay,” Richard replies, as the camera turns back to Claudia and says, “That was bad timing. I kind of forgot where I was.”
It comes as MailOnline revealed a huge row between Ed and one of his relatives has boiled over, with his cousin launching an extraordinary online tirade claiming the £375million megastar is trying to ruin him.
Jethro Sheeran, a rapper from Bristol, has accused Ed of personally ordering his record label Warner Music to threaten him with legal action, calling him a “silver spoon weirdo” and urging fellow artist Stormzy to “have a word with to speak to him’.
The feud centers on his claims that Ed Warner personally ordered Jethro to remove both his name and face from the artwork of a remix of one of their previous collaborations.
Jethro, who uses the stage name Alonestar, used to call the British star his ‘brother’ – but today he declared: ‘Ed. I’m not a fan, can’t you just live your life? Leave me alone to do my thing and you do yours.’
The family feud boiled over in September when Warner Music demanded he remove Ed’s face and name from the artwork of Raise Em Up – a song they recorded together fourteen years ago.

The 42-year-old complied, but said he and his lawyers were “shocked” that Ed “could do this to family.”
And today MailOnline can reveal that Jethro has once again poured petrol on the flames in a candid Facebook post in which he said he had to tell the ‘truth’ about his famous cousin.
Not only did he claim the singer ordered the legal warning from Warner Music, he claims the record label’s own lawyer was “shocked” by the decision.
And he seems to suggest that it wasn’t just the artworks that needed to change; Jethro has accused Ed of ‘taking’ [sic] all my songs down’.
“I’m so tired of lying and withholding the truth. Everyone blames lawyers and managers. Warner Music UK’s lawyer, like my lawyers, was shocked as to why she was activated by Ed Sheeran in this case.
“It was all Ed. I don’t care anymore, I’m not going to lie for him,” he said.
He accused Ed of deleting “all my songs.”
Jethro Sheeran called his cousin Ed his ‘brother’, but they had an argument over music
Jethro, a rapper who uses the name Alonestar, has written and performed with Ed, but a remix of one of their songs has led to a feud between them and with Warner Music
“Those songs help my daughter, my mother, our Sheeran family, to be safe and eat and survive. It’s him, disgusting and disgraceful and I write and produced the songs’.
Urging his more famous cousin to leave him alone, he wrote: ‘Please go on a pop tour with someone bro…go with Stormzy…I know a lot…Edward, don’t trip anymore, leave me alone my thing and you do yours. Storms have a word with this silver spoon weirdo..god bless all’.
MailOnline contacted Ed and Warner Music for comment.
