“This next song is about when somebody gets scared when someone goes too deep and they kind of back off and it’s like you’ve been ghosted. Has anyone been ghosted? Who has been ghosted? What the [expletive]” she told the crowd.

Ellie, 37, recently split from her ex-boyfriend, Armando, whom she first met during a holiday to Costa Rica earlier this year. The pair reportedly struck up a romance after the singer signed up for private surfing lessons.

Penning an official statement on Instagram, Ellie confirmed their decision to separate. “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,” she began.

Ellie also reposted Caspar’s story, which read: “Hi people – hope you’re having a good day. I feel (sadly) that I need to say something on mine and Ellie’s current relationship, that I hope more than anything will make any final tabloid speculation disappear. Ellie and I made the decision to separate some time ago.”

Ellie and I remain the closest of friends and, most importantly, ‘co-parents’ to the best kiddo in the world, Arthur. This is the last I want to say on this – and please ask that you respect mine and Ellie’s privacy. Thanks a lot, Caspar.”
