Ed Sheeran was mobbed by hundreds of fans as he made yet another surprise appearance on Tuesday - this time at a Sainsbury's store to promote his Tingly Ted's hot sauce.
The singer, 33, turned up at the London Colney store in Hertfordshire delighting those merely popping out for a low-key midweek shop.
Tingly Ted's - owned by Heinz - was launched last March and offers two sauces - 'Tingly' and 'Xtra Tingly' and retails for £3 a bottle.
He pulled up in a bright orange branded truck shocking locals and was serving up slices of pizza with the sauce on - all with a huge smile on his face.
For fans he signed everything from blocks of cheese and CDs to kitchen roll - which has since been put on eBay - with the sauce as special momentos for those who visited the pop up van.

Huge crowds extending into the car park gathered around the van as they tried to get up close and personal with the superstar.
As he made his way through the crowds later to have a stroll around the store he was surrounded by fans and stopped to sign a few autographs.
He looked effortlessly cool as ever in a white T-shirt as he served up the tasty treats for punters.
Ed said: 'It was super exciting popping into Sainsbury's and surprising some shoppers.
'Tingly Teds has been such a fun project so far, hope everyone is enjoying mixing it with whatever food they like. I'm still discovering meals that it makes even better.'
Satwinder Hayre, Store Manager at Sainsbury's London Colney added: 'We were delighted that Ed Sheeran made a surprise visit to our store today to show off his Tingly Teds hot sauces, it certainly gave our customers shivers!'
Ed is known for his surprise appearances delighting fans and in September 2023 left a bride and groom speechless as he crashed their Las Vegas wedding.
In addition, earlier this year he surprised a set of Brighton primary school pupils by performing a mini gig in one of their classrooms.
