On Twitter, Bieber directed people to the announcement: “Check my Instagram story. It’s happening. #friday”.

For his part, Sheeran commented on the Instagram post with a simple: “FriYAY.”

In the run up to the announcement, Bieber posted two images of himself and Sheeran standing in front of a green screen in some, erm, loud shirts.

The snaps were captioned cryptically with just the number ’10’, perhaps indicating that the single release would take place 10 days from now (10th May).

Bieber’s manager Scooter Braun, also posted shared an edit of the photos.
