Inside the end of Ellie Goulding's marriage: KATIE HIND reveals the real story of her 'thing' with Zac Goldsmith and how she went to Costa Rica to see hunky surf instructor after meeting him last month - as she heads for divorce from husband Caspar Jopling


A sunshine break, thousands of miles from the public's prying eyes (and cameras), was just what singer Ellie Goulding needed after a bruising 'tough patch' in her four-year marriage.

But as pictures emerged this week, taken by a local photographer, of the 37-year-old frolicking in the waves, without her wedding ring, and in the company of a buff and handsome surfing instructor named Armando Perez, it left no one in any doubt. Her 2010 debut album propelled her into the celebrity A-list, and she was invited to perform at the wedding reception of Prince William and Kate Middleton in 2011, where she sang Sir Elton John ’s ‘Your Song’. But this week, any hope they had officially reconciled was blown away when Ellie flew out to Costa Rica — leaving Caspar at home — for a ‘wellness break’ holiday with her closest friends, described by one on social media as ‘girls on tour’.
