She wrote on her personal blog Butt Why Sherie: ‘I still pinch myself to this day and look back at my photos to make sure it wasn’t a dream. It was unforgettable that we all experienced this together. At around 6 pm the dream came true.
‘I can’t really tell you how long I spent with him, nor what we talked about because it’s all such a blur. What I can tell you, however, is that the way he comes across is exactly how he is in real life.
‘The memories will last forever and it felt beautiful to finally experience pure joy and happiness again. Thank you Ed xox.’
