    Ellie Goulding has banned her friends from doing a life drawing class for her hen do

    The 32-year-old singer has no idea what her pals have planned for her bachelorette bash because she's been "so busy" with work, but she has admitted she'll be furious with them if they book a naked art class because she's rubbish with pen and paper


    Speaking on 'KISS Breakfast With Tom & Daisy' on Tuesday (14.05.19), she said: "I honestly don't know anything about it because my best friend has planned it.

    "I've been busy so I haven't really participated in the planning whatsoever, but I was on Jonathan Ross the other day and he made me draw something.

    "I knew he would because I mentioned that I really don't like life drawing, I just don't like drawing. That part of me was never given to me, drawing. It was cr*p, absolute cr*p. As long as I don't have to do that on my hen do I'll be fine."

    The 'Close To Me' hitmaker is planning to tie the knot with her beau Caspar Jopling later this year after he proposed to her while they were doing a jigsaw puzzle last year.

    Shortly after they got together, Ellie moved to New York to be with Caspar, who was working in the Big Apple at the time, otherwise they wouldn't have seen each other.

    She explained: "My partner, he works there. He studied there and then works there. Yes, I did it for love, but he's moving back. I basically just had to pack everything up and just move there. Otherwise we just wouldn't see each other ever which is rubbish."

    Ellie has since moved back to the UK and is patiently waiting for Caspar to join her.

    She added: "I was like good riddance because New York is insane and it's really not for the faint-hearted to live there, it's just bonkers. It's just such an overload of noise and crazy people, amazing restaurants."

    The couple have been together just over two years.
