Ella Eyre became a singer when ear infections ended her swimming dreams.
The 21-year-old star initially wanted to pursue her sporting passion when she was younger but gave it up after frequently getting ill, something which she now regards as a “blessing in disguise”.

“It was obviously a blessing in disguise, because I started drama and eventually moved to The Brit School.”
