If you thought the last horror film you watched alone in the dark was frightening, you should thank your lucky stars that you weren't subjected to Charli XCX dressed up and performing as Ed Sheeran on Lip Sync Battle.

A preview of Charli's take on Ed's 'Shape of You' has landed, as well as a snap of Charli in costume, and, well, they're horrible:

Though, as special guest Boy George rightly points out following Charli's performance: "I ain't never seen Ed do those sorts of moves, though. Now I'm gonna feel cheated when I go and see him!"

Still, at least we know who to call if Ed does quit music – which he hinted at earlier this year after getting engaged to his girlfriend Cherry Seaborn.

"My ambition is going to go to zero as soon as I have kids," he told the Daily Star. "I am going to be like, 'I do not really care anymore as I have another life to take care of'.

"It is totally understandable because you have children and your ambition shifts to be like, 'I want to be a good father'."

He added: "To be honest my ambition is dwindling a little bit because I have achieved far more than I thought I ever would. I do not know what to do next. I feel like when you play a stadium, you cannot play any bigger than that because what do you do? Sell 15 million albums? What do you do on your next album?"

Watch Charli's full performance on Thursday, March 28 at 9.30pm ET on Paramount Network. The show airs on Comedy Central in the UK.
