This young girl from Exeter is a dead ringer for Ed Sheeran.
According to her family, people regularly comment on the similarity between two-year-old Isla Walton and the flame-haired singer-songwriter.
"Everyone comments saying how shes a mini Ed, and I call her baby Sheeran," Isla's aunt Stacey told the Sun. Happily, Isla is a fan of her grown-up doppelganger's songs. "She loves his music, tries to sing along to the words and has a dance," says Stacy.
With his distinctive features, Sheeran has no shortage of lookalikes:

It was confirmed last week that Ed Sheeran would be one of the headliners for this year's Glastonbury.
The Telegraph's Neil McCormick welcomed the news saying:
"The guitar-slinging troubadour has got everything it takes to be a festival sensation: talent, charisma, almost unmatchable popular appeal and stirring, heartfelt songs that hundreds of thousands of merry revellers can sing along to."
"As the closing act on Sunday night, I fully expect one of those genuinely astonishing displays of communal joy and solidarity that make Glastonbury festival special, whatever the weather."
His latest album has divided critical opinion, and Michael Deacon, who describes Sheeran as an "unassuming, likeable young man who performs pleasant, tuneful, old-fashioned love songs," remarks: "Is this really what we want for our children?"
