Ed Sheeran is making a guest appearance on Game of Thrones

Ed Sheeran is currently dominating the charts and now the man of the moment has bagged a cameo appearance on TV show Game of Thrones.

The news was confirmed by Games of Thrones producers Dan Weiss and David Benioff at the South by SouthWest film festival in Texas, America this weekend.

Dan and David admitted they'd been trying to book the singer for a while due to Game of Thrones actress Maisie Williams being a massive fan, and now it looks like they finally have him.

Ed confirmed the news on Twitter, re-tweeting a Vanity Fair article about his appearance with the caption 'Guess the cats out the bag...'.

Although it's not yet been confirmed what role Ed will play in fantasy drama, series seven of the show has finally been given an air date.

The hugely anticipated season will premiere on HBO on 16th July 2017, with UK viewers being able to watch it on Sky Atlantic on 17th July 2017.
