Ed Sheeran has once again gone viral after he shared a delightful video of an unexpected fan interaction that's been hailed as 'the best video on the internet'. The charming footage, which Ed posted to his Instagram , shows the 33 year old singer-songwriter serenading a jogger while cruising along a London canal. The Shape of You hitmaker captioned the Instagram post: "Was filming a video on the canal today, played a request.
If anyone knows the runner lemme know so we can have their POV video for the lols". BBC Breakfast caught up with the jogger in question, teacher Nikki Atkins, who recounted her extraordinary encounter with the music icon. Nikki described the incident as 'so random' and 'surreal', especially since it was her first run in several months.
Initially, she heard music and spotted a 'ginger man' resembling Ed Sheeran on a boat, before realising she had indeed come face-to-face with the star himself, reports the Mirror . Overwhelmed by the experience, Nikki shared: "Inside I was in complete turmoil and in my head, the time it took me to ask for a song was a really long time, I am so shocked that it was that rapid when I saw his video. I literally ran out onto the path, sort of waved at him, then he asked me for a song request.
"In my head, I was thinking: 'Oh my God, I need to think of a song now, it needs to not be a rubbish or basic one - not that he has any rubbish songs obviously!'" Nikki shared her process of selecting the 2014 hit Tenerife Sea after Ed off.
