Ed Sheeran is in a different kind of spotlight today, as the singer swaps stadiums for the small screen.
The songwriter is currently starring in an advertisement for Heinz ketchup.
Ed is reportedly a huge fan of the red sauce, and reached out to Heinz with a concept for a commercial.

The condiment company loved his idea, and set to work making Ed’s vision a reality.
The ad sees Ed walking into a fancy restaurant. “The type of place that has chandeliers and paintings on the wall and way too many forks,” Ed says.
“I think classical music was playing? Or maybe it was jazz. No — definitely classical.”
“So I reach into my bag, and I take out the only thing that can complete me. And at that point, the whole world came to a stop. And the waiter was screaming. Through his eyes,” he detailed.
“So that’s my idea. Do you want to do it?”
Ed posted about his new advertising gig to Instagram, saying he was loving it more than a stadium tour.
“Okay guyz, so it actually happened. I sent a voice note to @heinz, and we made a whole tv spot around it,” he told his Instagram following.
“This is pretty much what I was aiming for in life. Ketchup ad > stadium tour.”
