Unfortunately for fans, a Chaiiwala staff member confirmed that the lookalike is in fact not the A-list superstar.
It is instead Ty Jones, who is an actor and full-time Ed Sheeran lookalike from Sale.
Although Ed Sheeran himself has not yet commented, if he does ever fancy a Karak Chai, he definitely knows where to come!
