The picture even got a reply from singer/songwriter Ed Sheeran after being shared on Instagram. He replied from his own Instagram account teddysphotos: ‘It’s got 16.’

Harvey said he was surprised to see so many respond to the picture and to get a reply from Ed.

‘It got to the point where the notifications on my phone got too much and I had to turn them off,’ he said.

‘The picture got six million views in two days which was a bit of a shock.

‘I was even more in shock when Ed replied but from watching him give interviews on television, I know he has a sense of humour and would have taken it on the chin.’

But not everyone has seen the funny side of the picture.

Harvey said some fans of Ed’s have threatened him.

He added: ‘I’m not bothered by them, I have just ignored the death threats.’
