Ellie Goulding and Ed Sheeran are being linked romantically after they were spotted touching at Sunday's 2013 MTV Video Music Awards.

At one point, the camera caught the pair holding hands; Later, Sheeran had his hand on Goulding's leg.

Despite the apparent PDA, Goulding was quick to squash the rumors.

She tweeted, "I love that holding hands with my friends means we're an item. In that case I am in many relationships. Lover not a hater. #whatthef*ck."

Later in the night, she tweeted: "Amazing night of performances with good friends. Representing GB. Love you all!"

The cozy display comes just a week after Goulding set tongues wagging at V Festival when she was reportedly spotted kissing One Direction singer Niall Horan during a Kings Of Leon set.

Meanwhile, Sheeran has plenty of things to be celebrating this weekend. He sold out his November 1 Madison Square Garden show in three minutes!

Thankfully, for fans who didn't get tickets, Sheeran made a huge announcement.

"I'm very happy to announce a 2nd date at MSG on October the 29th. Tickets go on sale after labour day x," he wrote on Twitter.
