Singer Ed Sheeran’s latest viral moment involves a heartwarming encounter with a fan on a London canal. In a video shared on his Instagram, Sheeran can be seen serenading a jogger who, unbeknownst to her, was the subject of his impromptu performance.
The jogger, identified as Nikki Atkins, a teacher, was enjoying her first run in months when she stumbled upon Sheeran singing from a boat. In a surreal twist, the singer asked Atkins for a song request, leading to a rendition of his 2014 hit, “Tenerife Sea.”
Atkins, initially in shock, described the encounter as “so random” and “surreal,” admitting she was initially too caught up in the moment to think of a song request. Despite her disbelief, she managed to pull out her phone to capture the incredible moment, a move that has sparked debate among Sheeran’s fans online.
Reflecting on the experience, Atkins expressed regret for not saying more to the star and confessed that she felt “silly” continuing her jog after the serenade. She concluded her interview with a sweet message for Sheeran, thanking him for the “incredibly special” encounter.
Atkins’s unexpected brush with fame has been met with disbelief from her friends and family. The teacher is now considering setting up an Instagram account following the viral attention she’s received.
