I’ve heard that scientists believe every person has roughly six doppelgangers. Think about that. There are six other people in the world who look just like you. We now know that Ed Sheeran has at least one doppelganger.

Chris Marks-Burton works at Henry’s at Hunstanton, a fish & chips shop in the UK. He’s also the spitting image of one of the biggest pop stars in the world.

The 26-year-old kitchen manager talked to Eastern Daily Press about looking like Ed Sheeran, saying, “I went to Wembley once to see Ed play live and I got mobbed afterwards. They thought I was him, there were loads of people taking my picture. If I had a pound for every time someone asked me for a photo I’d have thousands.”

Take a look below. Do you think Chris looks like Ed? Have you ever been mistaken for a celebrity?

Ed Sheeran’s 10 Best Lyrics That Warm (Or Break) Your Heart

• 10. Drunk

  From Ed's 2011 '+ (Plus)' album, he cleverly sings, "On cold days cold plays out like the band's name. I know I can't heal things with a handshake." The singer-songwriter than admits he knows what he can change, but he's been cut wide open like a landscape. The lines, "Open bottles of beer but never champagne, to applaud you with the sound that my hands make," he chooses beer over champagne, which is used to celebrate something.

• 9. The A Team

  The worst things in life come free to us / 'Cause we're just under the upper hand / And go mad for a couple grams

• 8. Wake Me Up

  Share

  So I'll take you to the beach and walk along the sand / And I'll make you a heart pendant with a pebble held in my hand / And I'll carve it like a necklace / So the heart falls where your chest is / And now a piece of me is a piece of the beach and it falls just where it needs to be and rests peacefully.
• 7. I’m A Mess

  Share

  And all of my hopes / All of my own words / Are all over written on the signs / But you're on my road / Walking me home.

• 6. Thinking Out Loud

  Share

  When your legs don't work like they used to before / And I can't sweep you off of your feet / Will your mouth still remember the taste of my love? Will your eyes still smile from your cheeks?

• 5. Photograph

  Share

  We keep this love in a photograph / We made these memories for ourselves / Where our eyes are never closing / Hearts are never broken / And time's forever frozen, still.
• 4. Shirtsleeves

  Share

  And I'll hold on to the words you spoke of / Anchored down in the throat, love / And I'm captain of this sinking boat now / With just one armband to carry me home.

• 3. Hearts Don’t Break Around Here

  Share

  Took my heart upon a one way trip / Guess she went wandering off with it / None like most women I know / This one will bring it back whole.

• 2. U.N.I.

  Share

  And I don't get waves of missing you anymore / They're more like tsunami tides in my eyes / Never getting dry, so I get high / Smoke away the days, never sleep with the light on / Weeks pass in the blink of an eye
• 1. Bad Habits

  Share

  My bad habits lead to late nights endin' alone / Conversations with a stranger I barely know / Swearin' this will be the last, but it probably won't / I got nothin' left to lose, or use, or do.
