Ellie Goulding has spoken about how she likes to keep fit and how she loves to drink cocktails.

Talking to Heatworld, Ellie explained how she keeps her body in shape:  “I train everyday, I go to the gym and I run, row and do weights as well.”

She went on to say:  “I’m pretty healthy too but I definitely do have my vices, I love alcohol, especially cocktails which I know are really sugary but you have to have a bit of the stuff you like, I drink lots of green tea and water in the day so it’s like I’m either really bad or really good.”

Ellie has talked before about her love of running but now likes to mix up the regime.

She has just returned from a break in Miami, which was her first break in nearly two years.  

She  said:  “It was so nice just to stand by a pool and just take in the sights. I've been working so hard so I had the time of my life out there. I got sunburnt though and everyone took the piss but I‘m just like any other pale girl, I burn, I peel, then I’m white again.”

Ellie is also currently enjoying another break in Cannes, tweeting yesterday:  "I'm in Cannes. Not suprisingly it is effing beautiful and hot here."
