The mum of four is hoping the baby will have ginger hair like dad Ty Jones, 27, who works full-time as an Ed-a-like.

Amanda was introduced to Ty through friends who met him at a Sheeran gig.

She said: “I thought my friends were having me on when they said he was a lookalike.

"I always wanted to go out with a ginge, and now I’ve got the best one — apart from the real Ed, obviously.”

Amanda, from Carrington, Gtr Manchester, is expecting a baby girl in July.

She added: “We’ve been playing Ed’s songs to her, and we’re both hoping she loves him just as much as we do.”

Ty previously struggled with dating. He said: “I have to weigh up if [women] are just interested in me because I’m the next best thing to Ed.

"But with Amanda, it’s been amazing. She’s the best.”
