Emeli Sandé has had a few ups and downs in her love life, but she’s back in the dating game... and planning to look for a lover on an indoor ski slope.
The 32-year-old Brit award-winning singer endured a “painful” divorce from marine biologist Adam Gouraguine in 2014 after they split the previous year.
But over the last few months she has been getting some romance back in her life. Emeli tells me: “These days, I really am enjoying being single.
“It’s a whole new world – it’s very interesting.
“It’s been such a serious thing in my life for so long, so now I’m like, ‘Let’s just have fun’ and understand the man world a bit deeper.
"It’s a world I’ve never really explored. I’m still getting my head round it.
“All of the dates have been pretty fun. I think I really want to go indoor skiing for a date.
“That’s on the to-do list. If you are meeting new people, especially at a point in your life where you understand and respect yourself, you don’t have to go by the rules.”
Emeli – who will perform at Radio 2 Live In Hyde Park next Sunday, also broadcast live on Radio 2, BBC Sounds and BBC Red Button – has poured all her emotions into new album Real Life.
She says: “There is a song called Survivor, and I feel like I have survived a difficult time. I feel so much stronger coming out the other end.
“If anyone is going through anything difficult, I want that song to give
them hope that there is so much life in them to give.”
