Ellie Goulding's BRITs date is her mum

Ellie Goulding, who is nominated for two BRIT Award gongs, has told the Radio Times, that her date for the night will be her mum, Tracey. She said:

"'My mum's coming to the ceremony so I want to make her proud. It's the first time she's been to anything in all the years I've been doing this. And my brother's coming too.''

Goulding first won the Critics Choice trophy at the Brit Awards two years ago in 2010 and confessed she didn't ''acknowledge'' the accolade because she was preoccupied worrying about upcoming gigs, she said:

''Things were trundling along for me. I was doing sporadic shows. I remember finding out about the Brit Award but being so stressed about rehearsing for this little tour I was doing. I was too anxious to even acknowledge I had won it.''

Goulding is nominated for both British Female Solo Artist, and British Single of the Year for both 'Burn' and 'I Need Your Love' at this year's ceremony which will take place on February 19 at London's O2 Arena. 

Earlier this week Goulding performed 'Burn' with Taylor Swift during one of Swift's London shows, and DJ Fresh announced a reworking of 'Flashlight', his collaboration with Goulding.
