10 Things You Didn't Know About Ellie Goulding

1. She Tells People She Was A Rebellious Teenager

Ellie has described herself in past interviews as a absolute rebel, but assured fans she's never tried to create an image for herself because she's 'just not that clever'. She had facial piercings at 14 and was pretty rebellious in behaviour, although says it was a phase she grew out of and is no longer like that. She told Interviewmagazine: "I don't want to get into too much detail, because people look up to me, but I got into certain groups of people and I had a kind of rave period. It was kind of a scene I got myself into, but it's just funny because I think that the image I gave off for such a long time was not that of a rebellious person, but that of quite an angelic person. And so, I think I wanted to confirm that, actually, I had a pretty rebellious teenage time"

I love Stephen King and music festivals; I eat my toast upside down; I daydream about getting married probably a bit too much; and I wish every day for a pet sausage dog puppy (who never materialises – sob).
