Host Alex, 44, started the chat by reeling off Ed's many achievements for viewers.
She started by saying: "Now then Ed, we're coming to you with stats. Because the stats surrounding your career are pretty off the scale. Apparently artist of the decade last year?"
Ed replied: "Err, yeah, yeah in England, well the UK."
Alex told him not to "play it down" before adding: "The most attended tour, apparently eight million people came to see you on tour."

But Ed interjected, saying: "Nine".
Alex corrected herself, saying: "Nine, nine, nine ok" before things turned even more awkward as she said: "Err, most songs from the last album reached the top twenty?"
Ed replied: "Well that was kind of like a mistake of the way that they like ordered the charts anyway, I’ll let you carry on, thank you."
Alex joked back: "Don't spoil it, we’re on a roll here."
The presenter then quickly moved on and asked Ed about him being a fan of 90s TV show Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Ed's latest music video was inspired by the show, and Alex revealed the show's star - Sarah Michelle Gellar - had sent a video to thank him.
It's been a busy few days for the pop superstar who watched England beat Germany at Wembley Stadium on Tuesday night alongside pal David Beckham.
The pair were in good company - with Prince William, Kate Middleton and their son Prince George sitting just a few rows in front of them.
Then yesterday Ed hung out with Wills' brother Prince Harry at a charity bash in London's Kew Gardens.
Harry, who was a surprise guest at the Wellchild Awards on Wednesday, gushed over new daughter Lilibet who was born on June 4.
