More Ed Sheeran More Ed Sheeran

It (very predictably) smashed the ratings last night but there was a lot more going on in Games Of Thrones than just poor old Jon Snow finding out he's been doing some not great stuff with his aunt. 

After a near two-year wait for a new episode of the TV show, there was a lot to pack in to the season debut - including the long-awaited answer to the fate of musician Ed Sheeran and his much-discussed cameo appearance in season seven. 


Rolling Stone have pointed out that Sheeran's character Eddie had a very unfortunate run-in with a dragon which resulted in his face being burnt off, so we're feeling pretty confident that Sheeran won't be making a return appearance to help fight off the Night King.

The cameos haven't stopped in season eight though, with It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia's Rob McElhenney making an appearance as a crew member on the Euron Greyjoy's ship. Let's just say, he probably won't be making a return appearance...
