    Ed Sheeran was Top Gear's "Star in a Reasonably Priced Car", despite there being a problem.

    He said 17-year-olds would want to be taught by The Stig, so why not.

    Let's just say his test laps were *interesting*.

    He didn't make it successfully past the part of the track known as the "follow through". If anything, he kind of went through it.

    And at one point his car managed to do this.

    Jeremy Clarkson was impressed at how he managed to control the car, and Sheeran was honest about it.

    "That wasn't planned – I didn't know to take my foot off the accelerator."

    He then did his timed lap, and he wasn’t bad at all.

    No veering off the road. No bumping off the grass. No skids.

    He also managed to keep his cool.

    He also kept saying this over and over again.

    And before you know it, he was "across the line".

    "It looks a lot slower than it felt," Sheeran added.

    And how well did Sheeran do? He didn't come last.

    He came second to last...but that's not bad considering that the track was wet and he hadn't ever driven anything before.
