Ed Sheeran has got a rival for the Christmas number one spot – and he is his doppelgänger. The Shape of You star is vowing to be top of the charts on Christmas Day for the third time, but his lookalike, Ty Jones, is also aiming to take the festive crown after launching a charity single for the big day.
Ty, 29, who is the spitting double of the singer-songwriter who has sold more than £150million records, has even started to learn how to play guitar to give his song a better shot at the title. The Sheeran-a-like, from Urmston, Manchester, is joining 11 other TikTok famous faces in their single – The Left Wing Wonderland.

He is hoping the politically charged festive jingle will trump the Grammy Award winner. However Ed, is also vowing for the coveted Christmas crown after penning a song for the animated Netflix holiday film, That Christmas. Set in Suffolk, the movie has been co-written by Richard Curtis will feature the singer’s track, called Under The Tree.

Earlier this week the popstar made a very exciting announcement, sharing that he has already recorded his next album and filmed two accompanying music videos. Speaking about going head-to-head, Ty told Metro: ‘If we do win then there will be no hard feelings, but we will see who the better singer is… the public will decide!’.
