Later speaking to News.Com.Au, Sheeran added that he was happy to make the cameo and was also up for starring in both Eastenders and Emmerdale, he said: "It’s an Australian instituation. It’s always on in my local chip shop. I got asked to do it and it sounded like it could be fun. I did Shortland Street in New Zealand as well and I’m sure if Emmerdale or EastEnders ever ask me in England I would do that as well."
