Singer Ellie Goulding has been in touch with her Tory pal Lord Zac Goldsmith since her separation from husband Caspar Jopling.
Ellie, 36, and Zac are understood to have become friends last year over their joint interest in the green agenda. It was reported this week that the Love Me Like You Do star is spending time apart from her 31-year-old husband of four years.
And one source today tells how left-leaning Ellie and Tory peer Zac, 48 –who announced his shock resignation as a Conservative minister on Friday – have been “in touch”.
