We’ve made no secret of the fact that we love Ed Sheeran but this week he proved that as well as having a beautiful voice, he has a heart of gold.
The Don’t singer agreed to marry one of his biggest fans, Katie Papworth, who recently lost her sight because of cancer.
The 19-year-old was diagnosed with brain cancer eight years ago. She was in remission for five years when it returned to her spine.
According to reports Ed accepted Katie’s proposal when he met her backstage at his Glasgow gig earlier this week.
As well as a ring, she also gave her idol a painting on which he wrote: “Dear Katie, lovely to finally meet my wife.”
Her mother Trish explained: “Katie took the picture of the Lego house she’d made and gave Ed a ring with an infinity symbol. Ed loved her artwork and asked if he could keep it for his wall.
“When she presented the ring he smiled and said, ‘I suppose I should say yes. OK.’ He made it really special for her and she’s since said she needs to think about bridesmaids.”
Ed also sent his future wife a message via YouTube today. Check it out below…
