BRIT Award viewers branded Ellie Goulding’s perfomance ‘amazing’ and the ‘highlight’ of the entire evening as she took to the stage with Calvin Harris at London’s O2 Arena on Saturday evening.
The singer, 37, announced last week her four-year marriage to Caspar Jopling, 31, had ended after she was pictured cosying up to hunky surf instructor Arrmando Perez.
But music was solely the focus for Ellie this weekend as she stormed the stage with her and Calvin Harris’ hit Miracle.
The songstress showed off her gym-honed physique in a white ruffled bodysuit with Gianvito Rossi custom thigh-high boots and sparkling TASAKI jewellery.
Racing to X, formerly Twitter, fans gushed over the set branding it ‘amazing’ ‘perfect’ and ‘iconic’.

The songstress looked incredible in an all leather look while Ellie, 37, stormed the stage just a week after announcing the end of her marriage.
Dua flashed her abs in a black bra which she teamed with hotpants, a biker jacket and Gianvito Rossi custom boots.
