Ellie Goulding is opening up about her addiction to exercise in a new interview with The Sun. "I don't consider myself to have an addictive personality but I felt as though I did at one point have a gym addiction that was just not fun.

I felt I had to go to the gym every single day," the 33-year-old singer revealed. Goulding wondered whether it could have been a "survival thing," because of the toll touring took on her body and mental health. "I felt as though it was a ­survival instinct to be working out all the time, making sure I was super fit, super healthy and tried to counteract having drinks on tour and perhaps not eating very well," she admitted. "When you go to the gym or you work out, you release so many endorphins.
