"Thinking Out Loud" singer Ed Sheeran played a major role in Rixton band member Jake Roche's proposal to Little Mix star Jesy Nelson.

Roche was aided by the flame-haired Sheeran last Saturday night, July 18, as he asked the ultimate relationship question to his girlfriend, Nelson, while Sheeran was performing at the Manchester Arena, E! Online reported. It was also noted that Sheeran called the two out of the blue for the show's highlight.

The 23-year-old band member who is very elated over the result of his proposal could not contain his emotions and shared it to his followers on Instagram.

Roche also thanked his pal, Ed Sheeran, through Twitter, for supporting him in the very special moment of his life.

That was such a great act of friendship for Sheeran, who on his end, just replied with a funny tweet.

The proposal was a success indeed, as Nelson was also seen beaming after her engagement. She performed with the other three Little Mix members at the Key 103 Summer Live 2015 show held in Manchester Arena, the same location where she was engaged just hours ago, noted Mirror.

"I cannot believe what has just happened! The most surreal moment of my life and everyone that I love most was there to share it with us! I feel like the luckiest girl in the world rite now literally cannot stop crying! Future Mrs Roche," she posted on Instagram.
