In an exclusive interview with BBC Newsnight, the singer-songwriter said he now films all of his songwriting sessions to protect against future claims.

He said he did not have a choice but to defend his work in court.

A judge ruled on Wednesday that Sheeran had not plagiarised the song Oh Why by Sami Chokri.
