Ellie Goulding teases her brand new album with the 'saddest words I ever wrote' as she moves on from Caspar Jopling split with new boyfriend
The singer, 38, separated from her art dealer husband Caspar Jopling, 33, in February last year and the pair are now co-parenting their five-year-old son Arthur.
And taking to her Instagram on Thursday, Ellie hinted that her recent relationship woes may feature in her upcoming music, which she noted she's been working on 'for so long'.
In her post, the Burn hitmaker marked the five year anniversary of another album Brightest Blue, before teasing that her latest work would be fans' 'new favourite'.
Giving a hint of what's to come, she wrote: 'If you guys liked this album I fear the next might be your new favourite… been working on it for so long.
'Guitars, bass, strings, harmonies for days, saddest words I ever wrote, best writers and musicians in the world (I am so lucky) and refusing to sound like anything else out there lol… gona be interesting for sure . But pop pop pop because I can't help myself.'
Her followers were quick to comment on the post with many sharing her excitement at her first album since 2023's Higher Than Heaven.
It comes after Ellie reportedly went public with her new love interest at a boxing match over the weekend.
The chart-topper is dating actor Beau Minniear, 28, according to The Sun and the pair attended the clash between Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois at Wembley together on Saturday night.
It comes after last week she reportedly teased a romance with him with a cryptic TikTok video posted to her socials.
The publication claims she shared a clip stroking a man's arm, with the caption: 'Just a little something to take the edge off.' The video is no longer on her TikTok account.
Her fans reportedly noticed that the watch the man was wearing in the clip matched one Beau regularly wears in Instagram snaps.
They also reportedly noticed they both posted photos last week from the same hotel in Florence - before attending the boxing match together.
A source told the publication: 'Ellie is into Beau and they have a lot of shared interests like exercise and art.

'They've been having fun together and they certainly make for an attractive couple.'
A representative for Ellie has been contacted by MailOnline for comment.
The Sun go on to report that Ellie is thought to have met Beau - who has a string of small acting parts in TV and film in the US - earlier this year.
Late last year she then split from her boyfriend Armando Perez who she moved on with after Caspar.
The musician and the surf instructor - who was eight years her junior - struck up a romance when he gave her surfing lessons as she rang in the New Year in Costa Rica.
However friends of the pair told MailOnline late last year that their relationship had run its course.
The couple met at the turn of the year when Ellie had gone to the Central American beach resort for a yoga and surf retreat with two close friends - actresses Emily Wickersham and Alessandra Ford Balazs - where they rented a swanky hillside villa.
The holiday was a break for Ellie after she had in private separated from her art dealer husband Caspar.
When pictures emerged of Ellie and Armando in swimsuits kissing passionately in the sea, the mother-of-one then took the decision to make public that her five-year marriage to Caspar, 33, had previously come to an end.
Confirming their split on Instagram, she wrote: 'In light of recent stories, I feel I have been left with no choice but to let you all know that Caspar and I privately separated some time ago.
'We remain the closest of friends and have been successfully co-parenting with our son's best interests at heart.'

Tina O'Brien is 'getting serious' with new boyfriend Adam Fadlé nine months after split from husband of seven years Adam Crofts
Tina O'Brien is reportedly getting 'serious' with new boyfriend Adam Fadle - nine months after split from husband Adam Crofts. The Corrie star, 41, and the interior design mogul, 38, attended Jack P. Shepherd's star-studded wedding on Saturday (July 26) as they made their first public appearance together. And after being spotted packing on the PDA after the event, sources now claim things are moving quickly between the pair - and marriage might not be far off the table, according to OK! A guest at the wedding told the publication : 'There was no mistaking they were an item on the day.' They added: 'Tina dotes on him - she loves that he's very calm and is a real gentleman, in every way. 'She's head over heels. This is no flash in the pan relationship, they're getting serious.' DailyMail has contacted Tina's representative for comment. It comes after Tina looked happier than ever as she passionately kissed Adam while departing Jack's wedding in the early hours on Sunday. The pair looked more loved-up than ever as they packed on the PDA as they exited the wedding reception. The couple reportedly met through friends in their home town of Cheshire this summer and have been on a string of dates. Tina looked sensational as she went braless under a pretty blue and white backless floral dress which boated a daring plunging neckline. She elevated her frame in a pair of pink heels and toted her belongings in a white handbag while Adam donned a smart navy suit with a white shirt. The couple couldn't keep their hands off each other as they kissed while waiting for their taxi to head back to their Manchester hotel. Adam - who bears a striking resemblance to her ex - is the founder of interior design firm Panoramic Properties, which boasts big names including Paul Pogba and Cristiano Ronaldo as clients. Tina and Adam were all smiles as they walked holding hands following the night celebrating her co-star Jack and his new wife Hanni Treweek. Earlier in the day, Jack and Hanni tied the knot at Manchester Cathedral, just over one year after he popped the question while on safari in Tanzania, Africa, before having a wedding reception at a nearby hotel. Last month a source told The Sun of Tina's new romance: 'Tina fell out of love with one Adam and then fell in love with another. 'She's been on a few dates with him and they've been very open with their relationship. They were out last week snogging like teenagers and they've been seen walking her dog by locals. 'Tina looked totally mad for Adam and they couldn't keep their hands off each other.' MailOnline contacted Tina's representatives for comment at the time. It was revealed earlier this year that the Corrie star had split from her husband after weeks of speculation. The estranged couple, who share ten-year-old son Beau, are said to be 'on good terms' for the sake of their son but their differing lifestyles reportedly drove them apart. They pair first met in a Manchester coffee shop in 2011 and the couple tied the knot in a surprise NYE ceremony in 2018. The star - who plays Sarah Platt in the ITV show - first sparked split rumours when she shared a photograph of herself at co-star Colson Smith's leaving party in Manchester. Taking to Instagram, Tina cut a glamorous figure in a red mini dress and posed with a bare ring finger on display, just weeks after jetting off on holiday without Crofts. She further fuelled the speculation as she was seen with a notably bare finger while out for a cup of tea in Cheshire. Friends then revealed the split as they said: 'Tina and Adam have ended their relationship and are spending some time apart. 'They moved house at Christmas and have decided to live separately for the time being. The insider told The Sun: 'Adam and Tina lead very different lives - he is really into his fitness, while she really enjoys going out with her mates and having a dance, which just isn't for him. 'It wasn't an issue at first because they were head over heels, but as the kids have started to grow up it's become more noticeable. Adam likes a quiet life and unfortunately that just isn't Tina.'

Tyson Fury, 36, claims he will ‘NEVER' return to boxing just weeks after announcing comeback and hints at new career
TYSON FURY has claimed he will NEVER return to boxing - just weeks after announcing plans for a comeback. Fury retired in January - for the fourth time in his career - a month after he was beaten again by Oleksandr Usyk in their rematch. 2 Then in July, the unpredictable Gypsy King told a crowd of his fans at an event in BoxPark Wembley that he would return to the ring in 2026. But Fury - who suffers from bipolar - appears to have already KO'd that idea in what is his latest retirement U-turn. Asked when he will fight again, he told Sky Sports: "Never. Really! Too old, look at my beard, all grey. Boxing's a young man's game." Fury was at the Doncaster Racecourse where his three-year-old filly named Big Gypsy King - trained in Oxfordshire by Oliver Cole - was in action. But she finished dead last out of 11 having sent off a 7-1 shot. If Fury is truly retired, he opened the door to potentially focusing on a career as a horse race owner. He said: "Maybe. Who knows?" It comes as a blow to fans who wanted to see Fury, 36, fight Anthony Joshua, 35, next year. CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS Especially after Fury said in July: "I do miss it, every single day I wake up in the morning and miss it. "I've been away seven months, missed it everyday. I'm open to offers at the moment. 'Started from the bottom' - Proud Tyson Fury watches race horse Big Gypsy King at Doncaster from owners' section "I'm not going to be doing any comebacks this year, that's for sure. I'm busy as you can see I've got Netflix here. "I'm filming At Home With The Furys season two. Come on! And then next year the big GK is going to make a f***ing comeback. "The takeover! I'm gonna be 37 in about three weeks so I'm going to be the oldest swinger with all these young boys coming up it's going to be difficult. "But I believe I can put on some very good nights still." 2

GB News overtakes BBC for first time to become Britain's most watched TV news channel
GB News has overtaken the BBC for the first time to become Britain's number one TV news channel. New figures show that GB News beat both the Beeb and Sky News in terms of viewing figures during key slots in July. It marks the first time BBC News has been overtaken by GB News for an entire month and comes just after the start-up broadcaster celebrated its fourth birthday. The figures have come from the television industry's BARB ratings, which track total share and average views. They show that GB News pulled in an average audience of 80,600 across each day in July. This compares to BBC News which had 78,700 viewers in the same month and Sky News with 67,000. GB News also came out on top during the breakfast show and primetime weekday evenings from 6pm to 11pm, as well as during the Sunday morning political slot. The Camilla Tominey Show, which runs from 9.30am to 11am on Sundays, secured an average of 123,900 views. This was 21 per cent higher than the equivalent programme on the BCC which had an average of 102,780 viewers. Ben Briscoe, GB News' Head of Programming, commented: 'This is a seismic moment, not just for us, but for British broadcasting. 'We are ending the dominance of the BBC News Channel and Sky News. 'And there's more to come. Starting in September, GB News will expand its programming with the launch of a brand new show from Washington DC, taking our coverage to an even wider audience.' GB News was launched in 2021 and has rapidly grown into a major player in the UK media landscape. It was the first new entrant into the UK's media sector in more than three decades, and has also expanded to become a national radio network. The TV channel's success also comes as increasing numbers of Brits switch from watching live TV to streaming. Figures released by the watchdog Ofcom this week revealed that people are spending four per cent less time watching broadcast TV in 2024 than in 2023. However, GB News's surging viewing figures come amid a series of disputes the channel is locked in with Ofcom. Last year, GB News was handed a £100,000 fine for breaching impartiality rules in a programme featuring Rishi Sunak. It followed an appearance by Mr Sunak on a February 12 broadcast called People's Forum: The Prime Minister, where he was asked questions by a studio audience. An earlier investigation by Ofcom found that 'an appropriately wide range of significant viewpoints was not presented and given due weight'. Meanwhile in February, GB News won a High Court battle against Ofcom after it ruled the channel had breached impartiality rules in a programme presented by Jacob Rees-Mogg. The judge ruled that the initial decisions which were made in May and June 2023 were unlawful. Furthermore in 2023, GB News received 7,300 complaints and launched an internal investigation after former host Laurence Fox made a series of remarks about a female journalist. The actor-turned-activist apologised for a 'demeaning' sexist rant about political correspondent Ms Evans, which included him asking 'who would want to sh*g that?. Fox said he was angry with Ms Evans over comments she made on a BBC debate around male suicide and alleged she had a 'dislike of men in general', but apologised for 'demeaning her'. Addressing the situation in a video posted to X, he said: 'If I was going to be sensible and I could replay it, I would say: 'Any self-respecting man in 2023 would probably be well advised to avoid a woman who possessed that worldview because she would probably cause him nothing but harm'. 'But what I did say was, you know, 'I wouldn't shag that', and all that sort of stuff, which is not right. It's demeaning to her, to Ava, so I'm sorry for demeaning you in that way. 'However angry I am with you still for doing that, and it demeans me because it's not representative of who I am.'
