On the morning of Friday, April 4, siblings Pearl (9) and Ray (7) believed they were simply getting a sneak peek inside Ed Sheeran’s tour bus. The two young super-fans, who have adored Ed’s music for as long as they can remember, were thrilled just to step into the world of their favourite artist.
Pearl, who sings along to Castle on the Hill at every chance, and Ray, who can’t get enough of Shape of You, have grown up with Ed’s songs as the soundtrack to their childhood, making this moment feel like a dream come true.
The pair joined Mark Wright and Olly Murs on Heart Breakfast for a tour of the bus, proudly bringing along colourful drawings they had made for Ed, hoping he might see them someday.
But as they climbed to the top deck, the real surprise was waiting for them.
Ed Sheeran himself was hidden away, ready to give his young fans a memory they’d never forget. As he stepped forward, Pearl and Ray froze in shock, eyes wide, unable to process that their hero was standing right in front of them.

Yet even in the middle of their star-struck awe, the siblings managed to stay composed, chatting away with Ed like they were catching up with an old friend, creating a moment of pure magic they will treasure forever.
