Season five of Game of Thrones debuted last weekend on HBO, but one pop star has got his eye on a season six part already.

Seems Ed Sheeran is a massive GoT fan and has been angling for years to get himself a guest spot on the series. Unfortunately for Sheeran, every time they are taping Game of Thrones, he has been on tour.

But his luck may be changing.

Sheeran told The Sun newspaper in the UK that he has some downtime coming up and is determined to get himself on at least one episode of GoT. In fact he says his plan is to "hound them" about it.

His love of the show is well known, and just last week he posed with Jon Snow's sword on Instagram...

But who would he actually be on the show?

who would he be on the show?

I can't think of any red-headed characters from the books off the top of my head. But I'm sure Sheeran isn't looking for anything too time consuming.

So maybe next season we'll see Ed as an extra is the background of an episode...or maybe he'll get a great GoT death scene.
