Niall Horan, who Ellie was rumoured to be dating last year after she was spotted smooching the 19-year-old at V Festival, turned up to watch the star sing some of her biggest hits in London.

According to The Sun, the pair enjoyed a brief relationship, before splitting in September.

"There was obviously a real attraction - but Niall's a young lad and wants to live it up," a source told the tabloid at the time.

Speaking to Ellen DeGeneres, Goulding admitted that she was single, telling the talk show host: "I don't have a real boyfriend at the moment...I'm travelling a lot."

On the subject of her speculative love life, she said: "Niall apparently is my boyfriend, Ed Sheeran is, apparently. "Jeremy Irvine was an actual boyfriend - he was a real, actual boyfriend."

Whether the pair have rekindled their rumoured romance or are just good pals isn't clear. But if Niall is after a slice of the Burn star, he's got some competition in the form of rival boyband member Jay McGuiness.

The Wanted star admitted that he had a crush on Goulding during an interview on Capital FM on Sunday.

Sending a message to Ellie, he said: "I am an admirer of yours, and if that is reciprocated then let's go and consume some foods."
