Ellie Goulding, 36, appears leggy in fishnet tights as she takes to the stage – after ending her “friendship” with fellow Tory Zac Goldsmith to focus on marriage to Casper Jopling

Ellie Goulding looked leggy in fishnet tights as she performed at the O2 City Hall in Newcastle on Thursday.

The 36-year-old singer looked as glamorous as ever in a blazer leotard as she sang her heart out and danced around on stage.

She appeared to be in high spirits after breaking off her close friendship with Tory colleague Zac Goldsmith weeks ago to focus on her marriage to Casper Jopling.

Ellie showcased her toned figure in a rocking ensemble by pairing her leotard with white fishnet tights and platform boots from Dr. Martens combined.

The hitmaker accessorized her outfit with three statement rings, a gothic necklace and a pair of long silver earrings.

It came after Ellie and Zac, 48, struck up a relationship over their shared passion for tackling climate change.

After the breakdown of Lord Goldsmith’s marriage to his second wife Alice Rothschild after ten years, they formed a bond.

The friendship has been described as unlikely as Lord Goldsmith is the Eton-educated son of the late billionaire financier Sir James Goldsmith, while Ellie grew up on a council estate in Herefordshire.

However, the singer has made many friends in high society, including Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, who attended her star-studded wedding to Mr Jopling at York Minster in 2019.

Lord Goldsmith was previously married to fellow environmentalist Sheherazade Bentley, but the pair separated in 2010.

He resigned as a minister in June after accusing Rishi Sunak of being “disinterested” in the environment.

Ellie and Lord Goldsmith met for the first time at the COP26 climate conference in Glasgow in November 2021.

Seven months later they were spotted having lunch together at upmarket cafe The Garden in Covent Garden and later at The Wolseley restaurant in Mayfair.

In October last year they were at the same party at London’s exclusive members’ club 5 Hertford Street and just a few weeks later they met again in Egypt for the next climate summit, COP27.

But the Chron revealed earlier this month that Ellie had decided to stop spending time with Zac to focus on saving her marriage to Caspar.

Ellie and Caspar, 31, married at York Minster in August 2019 with celebrity guests including Sienna Miller, Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry. There were first rumors about their separation in July.
