His girlfriend's uncle didn't know who he was!
Last updated 16th Feb 2017
There is no denying Ed Sheeran has become a household name, not only in the UK but also around the world, but it seems not everybody knows who he is....
Ed popped in for a chat with our sister station Key 103's Darryl Morris and he described a very awkward meeting with his girlfriend's uncle.
Despite asking him if he was doing well and what his prospects were, being the polite gentlemen, Ed didn't want to correct him...
Ed admitted his girlfriend's uncle didn't know who he was and asked the singer what his job was. When Ed told him he was a 'musician', Ed told us the uncle thought he was a 'mooching musician' who was taking all of his niece's money. 🙈
Watch the moment below:
At least he worked it out eventually! 😂😂😂
Ed met his girlfriend Cherry Seaborn at Thomas Mills High School in Suffolk when they were young. After both finishing their education, Cherry went to North Carolina in America to attend university. It’s reported that Ed and Cherry then started dating in 2015.
