You’d be forgiven for thinking that Ed Sheeran might be a little too busy for a TV appearance, but it’s been confirmed that the record-breaking singer will pop up in the next series of ‘Game Of Thrones’.
HBO recently confirmed that the drama will return in July, and speaking at the South By Southwest festival in Texas over the weekend, the programme’s creators, David Benioff and DB Weiss, revealed the news.
They explained that it was a special treat for Arya Stark actress Maisie Williams, who is a big fan of the ‘Shape Of You’ star.
“For years, we tried to get Ed Sheeran on the show to surprise Maisie, and this year we finally did it,” David told the audience (via the Guardian).
Ed then confirmed the news on his Twitter page, but there’s no word yet on who he will be playing, or if viewers will even be able to recognise him.
