Charli XCX reveals ice skater childhood career wish

Charli XCX says she wanted to be an ice skater when she was a child.

The singer told 4Music that she was inspired by figure skaters and their costumes.

The Brit said: "I don't know because I never really thought about anything that seriously, other than making music, but I really like ice skating.

"When I was younger I was very fascinated with figure skaters, I thought their outfits were great, I thought they were always very beautiful, so to be an ice skater would be cool."

Her current skating skills, however, aren't quite up to scratch, with Charli XCX adding:

"I can go backwards a little bit, but someone has to push me a little bit."
