10 Things You Didn't Know About Ellie Goulding

3. She Almost Gave Up On Stardom

Ellie told Glamour magazine in a recent interview that she once got to a point where she gave up on her dream of musical fame due to how she looked. "I came to the conclusion that I wouldn't be a pop star. I wasn't that pretty, I was fairly average. There was definitely a time when I ran too much and didn't eat enough and for a while I worried a lot about how glamorous I looked on stage. But as soon as I stopped being preoccupied with those things, things started really developing in my career. It sounds cheesy, but if you think awesome you'll be awesome." Good advice there for budding stars.

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).
