Ed Sheeran lookalike mobbed at Ed Sheeran's Manchester gig

An Ed Sheeran lookalike was asked to move for his own safety at one of the singer's recent gigs after becoming mobbed by selfie-seeking fans.

The 30-year-old, who was delighted to be upgraded to executive seats, said he was often mistaken for the singer."Once the first person asked for a selfie that was it, people were blocking the stairs and security said it was a fire risk." "Most people knew I was a lookalike, but they just wanted a picture with me, although I do think a few kids thought I was the real Ed, but I wasn't going to ruin it for them."When Sheeran was first breaking into the music scene, Wes said he once had to show his passport to a convince a drunk music fan on a night out he was not him.

After being stopped "almost every day" for selfies in 2018, he was approached by a lookalike agency and gained work as a Sheeran double in a 2019 Heinz advert.

Poor bloke

He must owe Sheeran 900k

Short hand he’s also ginger and ugly.

They all need glasses 🔍👓

Lookalike these people need drug testing if they are mobbing, apart from the same jacket!! Talking of drugs, weed fest aka Glastonbury starts tomorrow

My garden fence looks more like Ed Sheeran than him.

Lookalike?! I look more like Ed than him.

Let's get one thing clear. Ed Sheeran is a Wes Byrne lookalike

1. He looks nothing like him so how thick are these “fans” for mistaking him and 2. If Ed Sheeran is performing on stage how is it possible people think it’s him in the crowd 🤦🏻‍♂️

What is an Ed Sheeran?

All I see is another scruffy sod

I heard a woman aggressively offered to sit on his face. She thought it was Ed. Cray cray.

I've seen pygmy people from the deepest Congo who resemble Ed Sheeran more than him

They basically have the same shirt and can’t be arsed washing their hair in the morning.

Just shows how dim some folk are

The lookalike's better looking than the real one. Oof.
