Are you taking workout tips from Madonna? Ellie Goulding shows off muscular biceps and toned pins in Lycra

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Been working out much? Ellie Goulding showed off her biceps yesterday and is a keen runner, she revealed


She might have been leaving the ITV studios following a guest appearance on the Lorraine show, but Ellie Goulding looked like she was exiting the gym.

The Starry Eyed singer’s footwear might not have been gym friendly but her shiny Lycra tights and muscle T-shirt certainly were.

The 24-year-old strolled out of the studio in her peep-toe heels, showing off her very toned arms sparking comparison to Madonna’s bulging biceps.


Keeping fit: Goulding has also been announced as the new ambassador for SoBe, a range of vitamin infused water - which she is holding here


Perhaps Ellie has been inspired by the music legend to get fit and healthy for the upcoming summer.

After leaving the chat show, Ellie wrote on her Twitter page: ‘Was just on lovely Lorraine. Running/tattoos etc etc can be seen on facebook. Check out my awesome presenting skills. Ha’


Inspired by Madonna? Ellie showed similarities to the pop legend, who is famous for her muscles too


Ellie also revealed that she’s a keen runner and would be interested in living the Miami lifestyle of running along the beach.

She said: ‘I would love to live out there and run. I love the whole lifestyle.’

The platinum blonde star said she tries to run every day unless she’s too tired, adding: ‘It’s something I feel like, as long as I’ve got the mentality that running is part of my life and I have to do it to survive.

‘It’s like eating and sleeping. If I do miss a day, I just make up for it the next time I go for a run.’

And the keen runner even gives her fans the chance to jog along with her through her runs with Nike.

The star gives fans from cities around the UK the opportunity to be her sidekick through her Facebook page.

Saturday Night Live Returns with Bin Laden and Tina Fey Doing Sarah Palin – Video

SNL returned last night with its first new show of the season, and it was … just okay.

You just knew that with the death of Osama Bin Laden, and the blabbering mouth of Donald Trump in the news, that there would be some golden nuggets of comedy.

But there really wasn’t.

A pregnant Tina Fey hosted with musical guest Ellie Goulding, and things got off to a mild start with a cold open parody of Osama Bin Laden reading his last will and testament.

The best part of the evening was Tina Fey’s return as Sarah Palin during a sketch about the 2012 Undeclared Candidates GOP Debate. Palin appreciated FOX News hosting the debate since the both paid her and showed her the all the questions ahead of time.

The debate also featured big mouth and bad haired Donald Trump and was the best sketch of the night.

I have to say, Saturday Night Live has really lost their edge over the last ten years. They seem to get so close to greatness but always fall flat.

Between the death of Osama Bin Laden and Donald Trump running his mouth, there were so many fantastic opportunities for some great cutting edge comedy that 90 minutes should not have been enough time to cover it all.

Take the Osama reading his will sketch – writers really had time to make it epic but it just never pulled the laughs. It’s almost like if they get the set, costume, and impersonation down then whatever they say is funny.

And then there was the musical guest Ellie Goulding. She covered Elton Johns “Your Song” and was quite uninspiring. Maybe it’s her voice or the fact that she stood perfectly still during her performances.

If this was American Idol, Ellie Goulding never would have made it through the initial screening. She was bad.

Saturday Night Live has fallen flat and last night was no exception. So many great possibilities but so many lame jokes and sketched.

Weekend Update used to be parody about the week’s top news, but today it’s just a chance to profile weird characters that have nothing to do with the day’s current events. Loose the characters and get back to your roots of spoofing the news.

Sorry Lorne Michaels, but I’m glad I have a DVR.

But maybe I have just fallen out of the shows demographic. I like saying that rather then I’m getting old.
