Singer Ed Sheeran says pop star Katy Perry refused to hug him when they first met because he was "really sweaty."
The 26-year-old singing sensation has revealed that the "Chained to the Rhythm" hitmaker came to watch one of his performances in Canada a few years ago but did not get too close to him as he was "sweating so bad", reported Femalefirst.
Recalling their "embarrassing" first encounter, Sheeran told BBC radio, "This is why I love Katy. First time I ever met Katy, I'd played a gig in Toronto and I was sweating so bad. And then I saw Katy on the side of the stage and I thought, 'Oh God, Katy Perry's here, this is really embarrassing.
"I'm really sweaty.' I walked up to her and was like, 'Hi,' and she like, 'I would hug you, but ew.' I was so sweaty."
Perry, 32, who is currently dating actor Orlando Bloom, laughed off the incident and insisted she has much more respect for the singer now.
"Now that you're Ed Sheeran it's like put your ball sack on me. But then he was like Ed Sheeran this guy with red hair.
