6. Ellie Goulding What is she famous for?
‘I was sceptical about having therapy at first because I’d never had therapy, but not being able to leave the house because of panic attacks was so debilitating, this was when my career was really taking off.
My surroundings would trigger a panic attack, so I couldn’t go to the studio unless I was lying down in the car with a pillow over my face. I used to beat myself up about it. There were a couple of times after I released Delirium when I was doing promo and thought, “Oh god, it’s coming back, it’s coming back,” but it didn’t. I think my body has become quite good at controlling them.’
