LONDON –– He's had two UK Number 1 albums, he's best buds with Taylor Swift, and people sometimes make KFC offerings to him so he'll help them propose – but now Ed Sheeran has reached peak fame.

Why? Because he has his own flavour of ice cream.

The revelation came when Sheeran shared this photo on Instagram on Friday.

Okay, so the ice-cream isn't technically Ed Sheeran flavoured (that would be weird) – it appears to be a newly styled version of HB Ice Cream's Gingerbread Sandwich flavour, which the brand seem to have released to coincide with Sheeran's visit to Ireland to play at Croke Park, Dublin, this weekend.

This is what the original flavour looks like.

And here's what HB Ice Cream (the Irish equivalent of Wall's) posted on Twitter on Thursday.

Either way, the pun has people talking.

Where can I buy that GINGER-ED sandwich? @edsheeran— JENICA GATDULA (@gatdulajeni) July 24, 2015

So jealous that @edsheeran has his own personalised ginger-ed ice cream sandwich. Gingerbread makes everything better #doyouknowthemuffinman— Laurencoco (@laurencoco) July 24, 2015
