He paused the interview when asked how 'proud' his parents were of him.

'Pride is the wrong word, because I think it means you want to show off a bit,' he explained. 

'They're happy that me and my brother are doing what we love, and we're happy in our jobs,' he continued.

'It looks like you've had a facelift, with maybe your lips done,' joked Wippa.

Ed jumped off his seat and bit off the cake's nose, remarking: 'That's quite good.'
