You certainly can't accuse Ed Sheeran of not having a sense of humour – the "Thinking Out Loud" singer saw the funny side when a South Korean fan wrote to him to say he was a "little ugly".

However, there was a compliment in there.

"You are a little ugly but I love you!" the fan wrote in the letter, which Sheeran shared on his Instagram account.

The 24-year-old, who has just won two Brit Awards, captioned the post with the simple statement: "God bless Korea".

Sadly, he didn’t include a picture of the shirt that the fan had also sent with their message to the "great singer".

Sheeran is currently on the Asia leg of his world tour, which will bring him to the UK in July.

He also posted an image of the cheering audience in Seoul - perhaps the honest fan was somewhere in the crowd.

Last year Sheeran was named the most-listened-to act in the world on Spotify, while X became the best-selling album of 2014.
