Isla's auntie Stacey told SunOnline: "Everyone comments saying how shes a mini Ed, and I call her baby Sheeran. She loves his music, tries to sing along to the words and has a dance."

While the youngster isn't old enough to fully appreciate the remarkable resemblance, another lookalike, 21-year-old Ty Jones, from Sale, Manchester, told last year how his likeness to Ed sometimes meant he couldn't leave the house.

Meanwhile, on Wednesday Ed, 26, suffered an embarrassing bad hair day when a rogue gust of wind blew his barnet as he posed for a photo with fan Talia Calandra.

Amiable Ed didn't seem to mind though, with the star continuing to smile as his ginger hairdo blew wildly in the wind.

Talia was more than pleased with her snap, even crediting the gust with improving the shot tenfold.

Sharing the hilarious moment with the world, she tweeted: “I met Ed Sheeran today and a gust of wind made my pic with him 10x more exciting.”

Ths gaffe wasn't the only one Ed suffered yesterday, he fell victim to the cheeky hashtag “Sheeranalbumparty,” after Greg jokingly told Ed’s fans he wanted to honour Ed’s record breaking album Divide.

It’s not the first time this hashtag has been seen online, as Britain’s Got Talent’s Susan Boyle became the butt of numerous jokes after a PR stunt for her album backfired in 2012.

When Susan released her album, it came with the tag “susanalbumparty” – to try and encourage fans to buy the album.

However despite it clearly reading Susan Album Party, some fans read the message wrong and it went viral.

Now the same thing has happened to Ed, with some hilarious reactions from his fans online.

The Ed Sheeran-a-like youngster comes days after Gordon Ramsay shared a picture of a baby who looked eerily like him.
