The video shows Ed, 31, performing his rendition of the Backstreet Boys’ hit ‘I want it that way’ in front of a live band, as the crowd sings along.

The father-of-two dressed casually in a white shirt, sunglasses, and khaki cargo shorts.

He seemed in high spirits as he excitedly jumped around on stage, before going on to cover Britney’s ‘Baby One More Time’.

Wayne Lineker, who is the younger brother of ex-football pro-Gary Lineker, 61, owns a fleet of sports bars across Ibiza, which is a hot spot for many celebrities.
