"I was this 22-year-old awkward British kid going on tour with the biggest artist in America, who has all these famous mates. It was very easy,” said Ed. “I would often find myself in situations just kind of waking up and looking over and being like, 'How did that happen?'"

While Ed is now happily loved up with old school pal Cherry Seaborn, he’s not the only celeb who has his mates to thank for finding him dates, as these famous couples can attest.

They’ve recently reunited after splitting back in 2015, but and his girlfriend Eleanor have another member of to thank for them getting together in the first place: Mr Harry Styles.

In an interview with Seventeen magazine, Louis said, "Eleanor was a friend of Harry’s. He worked with her friend at a local bakery. One day, Harry met up with his friend, Eleanor came, and we met."

And the rest is (somewhat complicated) history.

The Brazilian supermodel and her American football player husband met when they were set up on a blind date by a mutual friend. “The moment I saw him, he smiled and I was like, That is the most beautiful, charismatic smile I’ve ever seen!” Gisele told Vanity Fair. “We sat and talked for three hours. I had to go home for Christmas, but I didn’t want to leave. You know that feeling of, like, you can’t get enough? From the first day we met, we’ve never spent one day without speaking to each other.”

Gisele and Tom have been together since 2006, got married in 2009 and have two kids together. Well done to the mate who set them up!

"There was nothing starry about the way we got together," revealed while promoting Trouble With The Curve back in 2012. "It was very un-Hollywood-esque, in fact. We met and got talking. Afterwards I asked my friend if I could call her and ask her out. My friend called Jessica and Jessica said yes, and so I called her. I did it the old fashioned way - by telephone."

The on-off couple have three kids together and dated for nine years, but Kourt and Lord Disick might never have met in the first place if it wasn’t for their pal Joe Francis, creator of Girls Gone Wild.

“I introduced Kourtney and Scott at my house in Mexico. Scott came as the guest of a friend of mine, and they met in my master bedroom,” Joe told In Touch Weekly. That’s one way to break the ice, we guess.

"The first thing I said when I first met my [would be] husband was, 'He's hot,'” Cameron told Andy Cohen on Radio Andy. "Then I saw him again. Wait a second, still hot!"

The actress and her producer husband met through an unnamed mutual friend at the Palm Springs Film Festival in 2008. “I knew from the second I met him that he was the love of my life,” Anne told Harper’s Bazaar. She asked him on a date six weeks later and they’ve now been married for five years.

star Frankie and her former footballer husband have James Corden to thank for setting them up. "I was just on a night out, and James Corden was there," he revealed while on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! "He got her phone, put my number in it. And then put her number in my phone. And then we basically text a little bit, and just ended up going for dinner."

One wedding and two kids later, the Bridges are still going strong.
