Hitmaker Ellie Goulding has revealed that while she was at university she developed bad eating habits that left her close friends concerned for her health and wellbeing. 

During an interview with Glamour magazine, the songstress explained that she would often binge on chocolate, which wasn't at all nourishing to her body:

"I remember being so badly addicted to sugar that I could eat two big Galaxy bars in one day - and nothing else. I was terrified of eating potatoes or rice or any kind of carbohydrates, but I would still have loads of chocolate every day."

"It made no sense. My friends were so worried about me because I would come to their houses with bars of chocolate and when they asked what else I'd eaten that day, I would tell them, 'Chocolate for breakfast, chocolate for lunch and then an apple and a salad.'"

Goulding went onto add that she did have unhealthy attitudes towards food that have since been changed significantly: "I definitely thought about food in a way that wasn't healthy, and ate in a very extreme way that should have given me diabetes. Now that my attitude to nutrition is balanced, I feel and look better. My skin is brighter and my eyes are brighter - and when I look at myself in the mirror, I've got far fewer hang-ups."
