Ellie Goulding and Ed Sheeran shoot down dating rumours

Ellie Goulding has shot down a rumour suggesting she is in a relationship with fellow British hitmaker Ed Sheeran. The pair sat side-by-side at the MTV Video Music Awards on August 25th, and a quick shot of them holding hands led many gossip sites to quickly assume that they are an item.

Perez Hilton for one launched a New Couple Alert-style story, but Goulding quickly took to Twitter to deny that anything is going on between her and the ‘You Need Me, I Don’t Need You’ singer.

She wrote:

“I love that holding hands with my friends means we’re an item. In that case I am in many relationships. Lover not a hater. #whatthef*ck.”

Well that’s that sorted then!

Ellie is currently No1 in the UK for the second week running with her smash hit ‘Burn’.
