(Cover) - EN Star Style - Ellie Goulding has confessed she would go "insane" if she didn't have sweets in her diet.

The 24-year-old British singer boasts an enviably slim frame, but insists her diet is not always super healthy.

Ellie has a sweet tooth and believes everyone should give in to at least one tempting treat that isn't really considered healthy.

"The only time I can get the balance right is when I'm back home. But I still treat myself. If you didn't you'd go insane. [My biggest weakness] is Pick n' Mix sweets. I could eat those all day. And chocolate. And if I went to the cinema I'd definitely have popcorn," she said in an interview with Hello! magazine.

Ellie, who relies on running to keep her in shape, tries to keep tabs on her diet. However, the gorgeous blonde finds it difficult to maintain a healthy lifestyle whilst on the road.

"I try," she confessed when asked if she watches what she eats. "It's hard when I'm touring. I can't stress enough how tiring touring is, and when you're on the road there's not a lot of choice: it's burgers and bad food." (C) Cover Media
