The 29-year-old singer has a string of famous exes including Skrillex, Jeremy Irvine and Dougie Poynter and says it is a blessing when a former love does not have Facebook so she can't check up on them.

She said: "That's the thing. It's actually a blessing when an ex-boyfriend doesn't have Facebook. Then you don't stalk them."

However, Ellie can't fully escape her famous former lovers as pictures of her and them together remain on the Internet.

She added to Miss Vogue: "Oh dear - one must not Google one's self if one does not want to see photos of one's self with one's ex."

Ellie also admitted to an unusual celebrity crush; 44-year-old CEO and product architect of Tesla Motors Elon Musk.

She said: "Someone who I think is really incredible - this is someone you wouldn't expect - but I think Elon Musk is really amazing. He is the founder of Tesla, the electronic car and also has a rival to NASA, Space X. He's basically incredible. It's not a crush necessarily, it's more like incredible admiration because he's helping to save the planet, and he's just a remarkable man."
