Ellie Goulding waited until she was seven months pregnant to reveal her pregnancy to fans. Now she has shared just how she hid away her bump from prying eyes, even when venturing out in public.

Appearing on Sunday Brunch when asked by host Tim Lovejoy how she was enjoying being pregnant, the singer laughed: “It’s alright. It’s different.” Ellie admitted it “wasn’t that hard” to keep the pregnancy a secret, because nobody was going out during lockdown.

She then explained her neat solution. She said: “I stole my husband’s coat for about six months, but that was really just in the shops. I didn’t go anywhere else.” Ellie found another way to disguise her bump on The Graham Norton Show on Friday night.

This time she wore a huge purple dress to hide her figure, laughing: “There is a baby under here somewhere!”

Before her pregnancy announcement, the hitmaker hadn't been pictured in public since August last year. Ellie surprised the world with the news she’s seven months pregnant with her first child with hubby Caspar Jopling. Speaking about her pregnancy for the first time, the singer admitted her husband loves that she has curves she's "never had before".

But she admitted they hadn't planned to start a family just yet.

"That was not the plan. The thought of getting pregnant didn’t seem like it could be a reality," she told Vogue magazine.

"Becoming pregnant kind of made me feel human. I want a better word than womanly, [but]—I have curves I’ve never had before. I’m enjoying it. My husband’s enjoying it."

When Ellie fell pregnant she was working on a book about healthy eating. But ironically all she wanted to eat was McDonald's - leaving her feeling "terrified" for craving "all of the bad things" during the early stages of pregnancy.

She added: "I was in such a good streak of fitness. I actually went from being smug about how healthy my salads were and my breakfasts and eating nuts and seeds, and then all I wanted was McDonald's.

 "And I was kind of terrified, I suddenly wanted all of the bad things!" Ellie and Caspar have been married since they tied the knot in August 2019. -Irish Mirror
