How much would you pay for Ed Sheer-ham.

Ed Sheeran has gotten bigger and bigger over the last few years but nothing says ‘success story’ like a ceramic pig that looks like you.

The ginger pig which is named Ed Sheer-ham and can be found in Suffolk.

It was originally part of an art project which had 38 other sculptures up for sale. These included other celebrity pigs like Piggy Stardust, which was sold for £2,600 and Elvis Porksley which sold for £2,800.

The pork version of Ed also went up for auction and reportedly sold for £6,200 (which is over €7,200).

We’re just curious as to what the buyer plans on doing with her new sculpture. In fairness, it is a conversation starter.

While the whole celebrity pig idea seems and bit mad, and the price people are paying for them, even more so, it is all for a very good cause.

The auction was in at of the town’s St Elizabeth Hospice which cares for people with progressive illnesses. It raised at total of £152,550 for the very worthy cause.
