Ed Sheeran looked in good spirits on Saturday as he watched his football team Ipswich Town beat Wolves 2-1 during their Premier League home clash at Molineux. 

His appearance came as the singer's cousin lifted the lid on their bitter family feud and insisted he will never speak to the superstar again.

But Ed didn't seem to let his cousin ruin his afternoon outing at the match as he beamed for photos with fans in the stand. 

The hitmaker braved the cold British weather wearing a long black padded coat with the football clubs crest printed on the chest. 

The Shape Of You singer was all smiles as he chatted away to the Premier League sides CEO Mark Ashton.   

During the match, Jack Taylor's injury-time header earned Ipswich victory in a relegation six-pointer to heap the pressure on Wolves manager Gary O'Neil.

Molineux already felt toxic with chants against chairman Jeff Shi and the Fosun ownership when Matt Doherty's own goal put the visitors ahead after 15 minutes.

Matheus Cunha scored what appeared a precious equaliser after 72 minutes but in the final attack, Jack Clarke's corner was converted by his fellow Tractors Boy substitute.

The Suffolk side are now only a point from safety while O'Neil is next-to-bottom and sweating on taking charge of next weekend's visit to Leicester.

Ed's cousin Jethro Sheeran, who is nine years older than the singer, claimed to have been a key influence in forming his musical tastes and influences as he was trying to start out as a singer-songwriter.

When the now world famous singer was growing up Jethro says he would spend school holidays hanging out and writing and recording his very first tracks with the cousin he looked up to.

But over the years the pair's fortunes went in different directions: Ed found global pop superstardom with a string of hits and earned an estimated £375 million fortune while Jethro, now 42, continues to try for a chart breakthrough and lives with his mother.

They had already drifted apart as their careers diverged but now a furious row has broken out between the estranged cousins - after Warner Music hired lawyers to order him to stop using Ed's name commercially.

In an exclusive interview with MailOnline Jethro has now accused his celebrated 33-year-old cousin of carrying out a personal vendetta against him by sanctioning his record label's threat to take him to court.

Speaking for the first time about the rift, furious Jethro said: 'I don't consider Ed to be family to me any more.

'I love him because he is my blood and flesh but I don't need to know him any more.'

Explaining the cause of his fury, Jethro, from Bristol went on: 'Our relationship has broken down over music, I taught him, and we're now not even on talking terms.

'He needs to apologise to me first but I don't think he ever will.

'I was ordered to drop his name and image from our joint music which he had been using and I want to [use].

'He has made millions but I feel I was due some recompense and recognition through a verbal agreement we both had of three songs I had written and produced, and gave to him to take to his fan base.

'And I wanted to use them too but have been legally stopped from using his name or face. How ridiculous is that?

'Why wouldn't he want to help and be kind to a family member who is an aspiring musician?'

The bone of contention that sparked the feud centred around a track called Raise Em Up which Jethro recorded with Ed in 2010. It also featured in the 2013 movie All Stars.

Jethro had recorded a remixed version which co-credited Ed and featured his face in artwork.

He hoped that re-releasing the track would help raise funds to help his daughter, Skyla Rain Sheeran, who is also an aspiring singer, get a start on a career in music.
