Ed Sheeran has confirmed the naked photo of One Direction’s Harry Styles that circulated on social media a few years back is authentic. He also suggested it was Styles’ fault the photo leaked at all.

The “Thinking Out Loud” singer was asked during an interview if the song he wrote for the band, “Little Things,” was written about Styles’ penis.

He told ZMOnline, "He [Harry] definitely hasn't got a little thing, so no, I did not write ‘Little Things’ about [his] little things."

Sheeran went on to say about the leaked nude photo, which surfaced in 2012, that Styles leaked it himself.

"Did you know Harry leaked that picture himself? He leaked his own picture. I think that's amazing," Sheeran revealed. "He was just like, 'No one knows.'"

Back when the photo hit the internet, a rep for One Direction told MailOnline the photo was a fake.
