Ellie Goulding likes 'womanly' figure

Ellie Goulding likes her "womanly" figure.

The 'Burn' hitmaker - who dropped two dress sizes four years ago by starving herself - has maintained her UK size 8 physique with regular exercise and she admits she's happy with her bust and bottom now.

She said: "Before I had a flat bum, no boobs and not much shape. I'm way more womanly now. I'm a bit more confident with my body. I've got a belly, boobs and a bum."

However, the 27-year-old singer has hit out against rumours suggesting she's gone under the knife to achieve her bustier look and credits her diet for her new-found curves.

She explained: "I put it down to eating amazingly well. I've been vegetarian for six months and now my body's different, my skin is different, my face shape is different, and my eyes are brighter, too."

The blonde beauty - who was criticised last year for being "too athletic" - doesn't mind if she develops more muscle with her fitness regime because she believes men are more attracted to women who look after themselves and stay in shape.

She told The Sun newspaper: "I would want to be strong instead of weak any day, even if I am a girl. And if I was a bloke, I'd want to be with someone who looked after their body. I don't think athletic women are praised enough, and that should change."
