Ed Sheeran has revealed some key details about his forthcoming cameo in Game of Thrones.
The globally-successful singer will appear in the seventh season of HBO's fantasy series, and up until now it's been unknown in what capacity he'll appear.
It turns out he'll share screen-time with real-life friend Maisie Williams who plays Arya Stark.
In addition to this, the chart-topper - who is headlining Glastonbury Festival this June - will sing in the series when it returns this July.
Speaking on The Hits Radio, he said: “I just do a scene with Maisie. I sing a song and then she goes, 'oh, that's a nice song'.”
