The 29-year-old singer developed a strong friendship with the reality TV star, who is known for his sexy antics on screen, when they hit the bottle after her gig at Newcastle's Metro Radio Arena on March 16 after his co-star Gary 'Gaz' Beadle arranged to meet her - but then stood her up.

Speaking on Capital London 'Breakfast' this morning (24.03.16), Ellie explained: "Gaz gave it all that and was like, 'I really want to come to the show' and then didn't come, but Scotty T is absolutely hilarious, such a legend. He's so much fun to go out with. We went out - him and a couple of his mates, a massive crew of us with my dancers and band, it was so much fun. He's amazing and he's so funny. I'm not going to lie, it was a messy night."

But, while Ellie's after-party with the 'Celebrity Big Brother' 2016 winner at Newcastle's Perdu nightclub remained trouble free, the blonde beauty was forced to intervene when a fight broke out at one of her gigs earlier this month.

The 'Love Me Like You Do' singer explained: "The other night I had to break up a fight.

"I don't know why people start fighting at my gigs, but it happens sometimes ... it's pure anarchy in my shows."

But jumping head-first into the scuffle isn't uncommon for Ellie as she regularly finds herself amongst it all.

She added: "You just have to look at them, single them out and say please don't fight.

"They then realise the entire arena is concentrating on them and they suddenly get very embarrassed."
