Ellie Goulding’s tête-à-tête with Parky doesn’t strictly amount to a “masterclass”, as has been the case with earlier episodes in the series. She does strum him through her favourite songwriting chords but that’s as far as the tuition element of the programme stretches. However, there’s still plenty to learn thanks to a candid chat about Ellie’s estranged father and her role as songstress-in-chief at Kate and William’s wedding. It would be difficult not to warm to the unassuming and thoughtful Goulding, who confirms her status as one of the UK’s leading vocalists with three beautifully breathy performances of her ethereal hits.
