Ellie Goulding: 'No one really knows my name'

Hitmaker Ellie Goulding has revealed that she's very used to people getting her name wrong and doesn't bother correcting them anymore.

During an interview with BBC Radio 1 Breakfast Show host Nick Grimshaw, the songstress explained that people constantly mispronounce her name and no one really knows that her full name is actually Elena:

"It's pronounced 'golding', but it's spelt Goulding. So when people get it wrong I really shouldn't get annoyed. I played at a Versace show the other night, which was cool, and someone said, 'Oh my God'... It was Michelle... Rodriguez! Gorgeous. I will say she looked amazing, but she did say - she obviously doesn't know who I am - she went, 'Oh my God, we've got a very special surprise for you guys, Eli Goolding!'"

The 'Starry Eyed' beauty went onto add that she doesn't worry about it when it happens: "I couldn't even be bothered to correct her. But whatever, that happens sometimes. Not many people know my name is Elena; that's my full name."
