Ellie Goulding: 'I had to stop inviting my fans to run with me'

'Starry Eyed' hitmaker Ellie Goulding has revealed that she no longer reveals her whereabouts when heading out for runs because her fans started to skip school in order to join her. 

The songstress, who is an avid runner, told Queen Latifah that it started out as a different way to meet up with her followers although it soon became a little out of control and she was forced to put a stop to the social fitness events:

"At one point, I wanted to find a way to interact with my fans that wasn't weird or awkward and I wanted to meet them properly. I figured if I got them to come running with me, it would be slightly less confrontational and strange and so because they were focused on the run, it meant we could have proper conversations and stuff. I was just really intrigued as to what kind of people my fans were..."

"I did it for a while and then it got a bit hectic and fans were turning up that were too young and were meant to be in school and stuff like that, so it kind of got a bit messy and I had to stop it. I'd like to do it again at some point. I've done runs with fans all over the world... It's pretty fun."
