The real Ed Sheeran might be best friends with Taylor Swift, but his doppelgänger has a hard time finding a girlfriend. 

Ty Jones from Sale, Manchester, is a 21-year-old lookalike of the "Thinking Out Loud" crooner. But, while speaking with The Mirror, he made it clear that it's not always easy resembling a celebrity. 

"It's made my relationships worse, I'd say, because now I have to weigh up if they like me for me or are they're just interested in me because I'm the next best thing to Ed if they really like him," he said. "When girls ask me for pictures in the streets it's annoyed some of my girlfriends in the past and caused problems."

Jones, whose Twitter name is Ed's Evil Twin, is a fan of the real singer.

He admitted that getting to meet Sheeran was pretty cool. 

"Meeting Ed has been the highlight in all of this, he was so down to earth and just so shocked at how much I looked like him, it was really funny."
