Skrillex reveals: I f*cking love Ellie Goulding

Skrillex has confirmed that he is dating Ellie Goulding after the pair sparked up a friendship via email.

The 'Starry Eyed' singer, who counts Radio 1 DJ Greg James as an ex, met the US producer through mutual friends last year.

Speaking about the relationship in an interview with Rolling Stone, Skrillex said: "I sent her an e-mail, like, 'I'm Skrillex. I don't know if you know who I am, but I love your shit.' We started texting and talking on the phone."

He added: "I love her. She's my f*cking girl."

Skrillex is set to return to the UK in April for shows in Leeds, Edinburgh and Glasgow.

Skrillex will play the following shows:

Leeds O2 Academy – April 17
Edinburgh Corn Exchange - 18
Glasgow O2 Academy - 19
