Ellie Goulding will be bringing festive cheer to homeless people on Christmas Eve. The popstar - and GLAMOUR fave - will be serving food to homeless people and will help out at a shelter all day.
Speaking before her Streets of London benefit show at the Shepherd's Bush O2 Academy last night, she revealed: "I'm volunteering all day at a shelter. I've done it for a few years. It's fun and part of the reason I run my gigs."
The 27-year-old pop star has helped out at the shelter for several years and says it's her way of trying to give people a little bit of Christmas spirit.
She added: "It's not just people who are homeless in the shelters but also those who are lonely and don't have someone to spend time with. I was chatting to a guy last year who was a musician from Africa who had found himself homeless. The thought of someone not having a Christmas..."
Ellie - who is dating Dougie Poynter from McBusted - feels sympathetic towards those without homes because it is something which could have happened to her if she had been unsuccessful in her career.
She said: "It's so scary because it happens so quickly and to anyone. It could be any of us.
"I was pretty much by myself in London. I had a room but not a family home - I had to go back if anything went wrong. My situation was a luxury."
On Christmas Day, Ellie will be joined by her beau at her new home.
She told the Daily Mirror: "I'm scarily hosting this year. I'm veggie and Dougie is veggie, so I'm in charge of desserts.
"A while ago, I got a new house so I'm finally going to move into it and will host it there."
