Well Done Ed! Mr Sheeran passed his driving test with flying colours
British singer Ed Sheeran has passed his driving test, only nine months after he first got behind the wheel for top TV show Top Gear.
The 24-year-old singer's first time driving was on the racecourse for the motoring show's Star in a Reasonably Priced Car segment this January.
He is now an official full licence holder after completing the practical test in Ipswich, England this weekend. Yay!
His driving instructor posted a picture of Ed holding his driving license – while dressed in onesie – on social media, and captioned it, "Congratulations to Ed S who passed his car test with us in Ipswich this afternoon. Good effort Ed!!!"

The man himself also celebrated on Twitter by writing, "Passed my driving test yesterday, zoom zoom zoom."
He had a few close saves while filming his lap for Top Gear, narrowly missing posts and sliding off the track. He admits he first signed up to the show "for a laugh" despite his lack of experience.
"Before today I had never sat in the driving seat or put my hand on the steering wheel," he said.
"The reason I said 'yes' to Top Gear is that I thought it would be funny that the first time I drive (is on TV)… It was interesting. I had some funny bloopers."
