Ellie Goulding and Dougie Poynter have split just weeks after rekindling their romance, according to reports.

The pair are believed to have split due to their busy careers.

A source told the Daily Mirror: “They are finding it hard to spend time together as Ellie’s music career takes her all over the world and she is pulled in different directions.

“Dougie is trying to make it in America as an actor and they are drifting apart."
