Ed Sheeran shocked the cast and crew of the American sitcom Undateable on Tuesday night, by planting a kiss on actor Brent Morin’s lips on live TV.
The show aired two live episodes, one for the east coast and one for the west coast.
During the episode, Justin - played by Brent Morin - unknowingly kicks the singer out of his bar after his rendition of Thinking Out Loud.
Then throughout the episode a series of guest stars, including Zach Braff and Minnie Driver, give the bar owner a slap “For Ed”.
In the original, Ed himself eventually returns and slaps Justin. But when it came time to film the West Coast version, Ed had other ideas …
Before the episode aired, Ed spoke with US Weekly about appearing on the sitcom, saying, “I think my fans know I have a decent sense of humor, so I’m excited to take part in Undateable’s live show. Should be a lot of fun!”
Ed also took to Twitter the same day to urge eligible voters in Ireland to be his Yes vote.
“I believe in equality if you are in Ireland and can vote please #bemyyes”
