During a concert that Ed Sheeran performed at on Sunday, July 19, he lent a helping hand to help Jake Roche of Rixton propose to his girlfriend, according to Us Magazine.
“Travelled 5 hours to sing our favourite song on his day off”, Jake wrote of his friend, who was on a brief break after performing three sold-out shows at London’s Wembley Stadium.
The engagement news came after Little Mix celebrated their first number 1 single since 2012 with their hit single, Black Magic.
“Could not be happier for my brother!”
Nelson isn’t the only member of Little Mix now planning a high-profile wedding – her bandmate Perrie Edwards became engaged to former One Direction star Zayn Malik in 2013.
Jake, the son of Coleen Nolan and Shane Richie, also thanked his pal Ed afterwards on Twitter.
He said: “There are engagement reports, but at the minute I can’t afford a hot meal, let alone a ring”. “The most surreal moment of my life and everyone that I love most was there to share it with us!” the 24-year-old wrote.
He recalled: ‘Usually when you do these things it has to go through both of your managers… but Ed literally just sent me a text out of the blue and said “What are you doing on these dates?”
The romantic pop star asked pal Ed Sheeran to serenade the couple onstage as he got down on bended knee and asked Nelson to be his bride.

Jesy looked stunned as Jake started speaking to her but was heard saying yes as she struggled to hold back her tears. We were like “yeah of course” and it was just incredible you know?
