Ellie Goulding Confesses She Stalks Boyfriends Online After Break-Ups

Dougie Poynter will be watching his pokes and likes.

His ex Ellie Goulding has admitted she has a habit of obsessively following former flames on social media.

Goulding, 29, who split from the McFly bassist earlier this year, said: “It’s actually a blessing when an ex-boyfriend doesn’t have Facebook… then you don’t stalk them.”

Poynter has just joined the social network.

Goulding, above, insists they remain friends but is avoiding old pictures, adding to the Daily Star: “You must not Google yourself if you do not want to see photos of yourself with your ex.”

Despite the pain of splitting from Poynter, below, the singer is open to finding a new man.

She added: “My dream first date is something fun! The other day, my friend said that this guy organised a date for them, and they went salsa dancing and dinner, and after that they went to play blackjack.

“It was just the coolest date ever! I was like, ‘I’ve been missing out! No-one’s ever done that for me!’”
