Ryan Tubridy was treated to a gorgeous Ed Sheeran rendition from a young fan upon visiting ChildVision, the National Campus for Children with a Visual Impairment and Complex Disabilities.
22-year-old Ashleigh, who dreams of meeting her idol Ed Sheeran, sang the singer's hit Bad Habits for Ryan.
Introducing the young singer, who is visually impaired and "losing her sight slowly", Ryan praised her as a star.
He said: "Normally I interview and introduce people like Ed Sheeran, but he's grand, he's okay. But he's not as good as the next person you're about to meet.
"Put your hands together for the woman that Ed should really be playing support to. Some day, when she's older and Ed is really old, Ed will be the first act and she'll come on after."
Ashleigh's Facebook page, called Help Ashleigh Meet Ed Sheeran, has over 200k followers.
She regularly posts videos of her playing the guitar and singing hit songs such as Taylor Swift's 22 and Dreams by The Cranberries.
As part of Ryan's visit to ChildVision this morning, the presenter was shown the campus' facilities and services as he took photos with some of the students.
Located in Drumcondra, ChildVision is Ireland’s only dedicated centre for children with sight loss, some of whom also have profound sensory impairments and additional disabilities.
The school offers services to people from birth up until the age of 23 to help them cope with a "noisy, busy world".
ChildVision offers services to over 2,500 young people every year.
