Posing a cryptic question to fans, Ellie, who recently split from surf instructor, Armando Perez, 29, introduced her 2020 hit, ‘How Deep Is Too Deep’. 

“This next song is about when somebody gets scared when someone goes too deep and they kind of back off and it’s like you’ve been ghosted. Has anyone been ghosted? Who has been ghosted? What the [expletive]” she told the crowd.

“Sorry for the kids! I’m so sorry,” she added. “What the duck, which is what I say around my child. What the ducking duck. So this song is more relevant than ever.”

Ellie, 37, recently split from her ex-boyfriend, Armando, whom she first met during a holiday to Costa Rica earlier this year. The pair reportedly struck up a romance after the singer signed up for private surfing lessons.
