Melody is Ed’s biggest fan, and she would blow kisses at the redheaded meastro when she saw him on the TV.

Ed and Melody first met in November 2016, when the Thinking Out Loud singer visited the youngster in hospital, and later the pair enjoyed a second meeting at a private show held at London’s O2 arena.
