It’s been Australia’s favourite soap for decades and now music superstar Ed Sheeran will be popping into Summer Bay for a guest role.
In the sneak peek, Home and Away have labelled the epic episode, a “history making event,” while the ginger-haired stud can be seen in one of TV’s most iconic, but fictional, locations… Summer Bay!
“Hi Australia, I’m Ed Sheeran, I’m here in Summer Bay,” the chart-topper explains in the promo.
Ed Sheeran heads to Summer Bay in search of his former nanny, Marilyn!
Details around Ed’s plot line on the show have been kept under wraps but it was recently claimed by numerous sources that the singer/songwriter will play himself as he makes the pilgrimage to Summer Bay searching for his former nanny Marilyn, played by Emily Symons.
Humorously though, Emily’s character has no idea about Ed’s superstar status and is completely confused by the frenzy he causes in the town.
No TV cameo by the Thinking Out Loud singer is complete without a song, and the teaser shows the 24-year-old performing with his guitar at local bar Angelo’s.
In an interview with Kyle and Jackie O on KIIS FM the British local explained why he decided to take a role on the hit show, “They just asked me and I said ‘Yes!’ I’m at a stage in my career where I just want to do fun things.”
He added: “I really don’t care about being ‘cool’ or anything I just want to do stuff because it’s fun and sometimes I say ‘yes’ and sometimes I say ‘no.'”
We cannot wait to see Ed take Summer Bay by storm!
