What did Ellie Goulding say on Graham Norton?
After singing New Love, the star discussed having to push back her tour.
She told talk show host Graham: “I figured it may have been difficult in April, when the baby’s due. As sad as it is, because we were all looking forward to it. But it’s worked out quite well that it’s now in the autumn.
“October, hopefully it can go ahead because I am gagging to do a show.”

Earlier this week, Ellie announced she is expecting her first child with husband Caspar Jopling.
In an interview with Vogue magazine, the singer – who is 30 weeks pregnant – said: “Becoming pregnant kind of made me feel human. I want a better word than womanly… I have curves I’ve never had before. I’m enjoying it. My husband’s enjoying it.”
