Ed Sheeran planning to spend thousands on George Clooney’s original Batman costume

Ed Sheeran is planning to splash out thousands to snap up George Clooney’s original Batman costume.

The 34-year-old singer treats himself to a piece of movie memorabilia every birthday and after previously buying Alicia Silverstone's Batgirl outfit from 1997's 'Batman and Robin', he's hoping to land her co-star's costume from his only outing as the Caped Crusader.

Ed said on Alex Cooper's 'Call her Daddy' podcast: "I'm trying to get the George Clooney Batman costume ...

"I bought the Alicia Silverstone Batwoman [outfit], so it would be matching.(sic)"

The 'Azizam' hitmaker - who celebrated his birthday in February - previously splurged a huge amount on a 'Star Wars' replica.

He said: "I bought C-3PO. That was not cheap. I do it every birthday. I just buy one prop a year.

"It's the thing I look forward to. I think all year, 'What am I going to get?'"

Ed's lavish estate features a lake, a chapel, and a pub, and a tunnel connecting his private boozer to his main home is where his movie memorabilia is housed.

He said: "In the tunnel, I built a listening room, and there's a cinema - it's less of a man cave and more of a man catacomb ...

"I collect movie props, too, so I've got all of that there.

"I'm a huge 'Hook' fan, so I bought Robin Williams' Pan costume and Julia Roberts' Tinker Bell costume."
