Ellie Goulding admits to having bizarre pregnancy cravings of Weetabix and sardines

Ellie Goulding has revealed her unusual pregnancy cravings - Weetabix and sardines.

The singer, 34, says she has been loving the foods while pregnant with her first child. But don't worry, she insists she doesn't eat them at the same time.

The fitness fanatic also revealed that she has found herself wanting to ditch her salads for a McDonald's meal.

Speaking to Vogue, she said: "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.

"Whatever this baby did when it took over my body was like, Hell no—I do not want broccoli, spinach, collards! I just wanted sugar and carbs."

And the Love Me Like You Do singer has also praised her pregnancy for giving her "a bigger" bum.

In an interview with Stella Magazine, Ellie said: "I've always had a runner's body and now I have a bigger ass and these rather nice boobs!"

The singer went on to explain how she found out she was pregnant.

She continued: "I thought I had an iron deficiency and got blood tests, which came back fine but my progesterone levels were high... I then started struggling a bit with exercise. That was a sign for me something had changed."

Ellie also confessed that being 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," she added.

Ellie married Caspar Jopling in a ceremony at York Minster on August 31, 2019.

Before her pregnancy announcement, the hitmaker hadn't been pictured in public since August last year.

She revealed that she hid her pregnancy when in public for seven months by wearing her husband's coat.

Ellie admitted to Tim Lovejoy on Sunday Brunch that it "wasn’t that hard" to keep the pregnancy a secret because nobody was going out during lockdown.
