Ellie Goulding has expressed regret over having recently addressed the almost decade-old rumour that she had cheated on Ed Sheeran with fellow singer Niall Horan.
It was speculated years ago that Ellie, now 36, had a fling with Niall, now 29 - who was a member of One Direction at the time - whilst dating Ed, now 32, in around 2013.
The rumour is said to have been sparked by lyrics that featured in Ed's song Don't - released in 2014 - which were interpreted by some fans as having been about Ellie.
