Ellie Goulding shocked us in December 2015 when she revealed she and long-term boyfriend Dougie Poynter had split – just a few months after it looked like the couple were closer then ever, and reportedly even talking marriage.

But the path of true love never did run smooth, and the pair were back on – then off again – over the next few weeks, with Ellie eventually confirming they were done earlier this month.

But in an exclusive interview with this week's heat magazine, Ellie admits she's not over the McFly bassist – and wants him back.

When we asked her if there was any hope of them getting back on track, Ellie replied: "Maybe. I hope so. We have something I know is special and I think other people see it – my friends see it, my family see it.

"My nanna was like, really sad. But I think some things are just, kind of unfinished, an unfinished story. I hope so, he's a real gem and he's doing so well and he's keeping very busy, as am I. He's a great guy."

Sob.

The Army singer also addressed speculation that she's had lip fillers, after appearing at a pre-Grammys party in February this year with a much fuller pout.

"I don't know what it is! I hadn't done anything to them," she told heat.

"Any of my friends will tell you, I don't like needles, I don't like doctors – it's impossible for me to have done anything like that.

So, um… where did they come from, Ellie?

"[My make-up artist] Lisa does 3D lips and it makes your lips look massive. You add like three layers of lip liner," she revealed.
