Decapitated For Ed Sheeran

Date: 3/17/2017

I'm filming a TV spot for Harry Hill's new ITV programme. A magician asks me to place one end of a tailor's tape measure beneath my foot and the other end on my chest, my chin keeping it in place. Ed Sheeran is there and is watching the magician perform. While the tape measure is pulled taut between my foot and chin, the magician takes out a pair of scissors. He cuts the tape and my head falls off with theatrical blood spraying everywhere. I am not in pain and am aware that it is all a trick. Ed Sheeran is beside himself with excited horror. I'm not in on how it's done so just stand there while the magician laps up the applause and reattaches my head.
