But social media users are split about whether the star is visiting Leeds - or whether his doppelganger has landed in the city.

One user suggested the pictures were of Ed Sheeran's lookalike, Ty Jones.

The 27-year-old, of Manchester, makes a living from being the spitting image of the singer.

Two days ago, he posted an image on Instagram with the caption: "After a very nice parental leave with some bonding time with my baby, I'm delighted to say I'M BACK!

"So if you need me to help your business or platform get seen with Ed Sheeran's Double, feel free to get in touch."

Ed Sheeran performed in London on Friday in the final leg of his Mathematics tour.

The tour will continue across Europe - with the star due to perform in Germany this week.
