Ellie Goulding Reveals She Suffers From A Secret Heart Problem That Has Changed Her Attitude

Ellie Goulding has revealed that she suffers from a serious heart problem, which has forced her to relax a bit more.

The 28-year old admitted that she’s had the heart problem since last year but has, so far, chosen to ignore it whilst she jet sets around the globe on her tour.

“I found out I have this heart thing and I need to get it check out,” says Ellie.

“I’m fine, it’s actually something someone discovered last year but I never got it checked out, which is terrible, I have been playing with my life.” Oh, Ell!

The Starry Eyed singer is currently doing promotional work in Australia but plans to get it checked out on her return to the UK.

Ellie, who has always been majorly into keeping fit, has had to take precautions by adopting a much more laid-back approach to diet and exercise as of late.

“I have been very relaxed, I have been chilling and not being as militant about what I eat,” she told Australia’s Perth Now.

“It’s nice to know you actually can’t go to the gym, you’re not allowed.” …Unfortunately, we don’t have a good enough reason as to why we don’t hit the running machine more often!

This revelation comes after she was criticised and called out for lip-syncing during a show at the AFL Grand Final on Saturday, which she decided to take as a compliment.

Though she admitted that she had a bit of trouble with the song, she took to Twitter to defend herself.

Well-said Ellz!

Michael Gudinski, producer of the Toyota AFL Grand Final, was also on hand to support the singer, as he released a statement to explain: “Ellie performed live vocals to a backing track.”

“This is a very common practice for performances in situations such as the Grand Final. Unfortunately a technical issue at the start of Ellie’s performance caused a brief hiccup but Ellie went on to prove just how much of a superstar she is, belting out two of her massive hits.”

We suppose that the blonde singer knows that “anything could happen” when it comes to a live performance!
