'Thinking Out Loud' superstar Ed Sheeran has revealed that his cousin met a guy abroad who claimed to be him and she was able to call him out on the impersonation. 

Speaking to a U.S. radio station, Sheeran confessed that he's often heard of red-haired guys pretending to be him, but this particular story is the best:

"My cousin went on holiday with all her mates. And her mate was in a bar and this dude came up to her and said 'I have my song in on the radio and my name is Ed Sheeran'."

"So she is like 'Hold on a minute' and she goes to get my cousin and she says (to the guy) 'Tell her that.' And he goes 'Yeah my name is Ed Sheeran and I have got this song on the radio' and then Kathy, my cousin, just pulls out her ID and holds it up and it says Kathy Sheeran and she yells out 'Look at that! Not today mate... not today. And the guy goes to all the bars in all the lands. Apparently it works for him."
