"Ellie Goulding has refused to comment on rumours of her relationship with One Direction&amp;#039;s Niall Horan. The 26-year-old singer was spotted spending time with the boyband star at this month&amp;#039;s Virgin Media V Festival. Her spokesperson later said that the pair were &amp;quot;just good friends&amp;quot;.  Speaking to The Mirror at Ibiza House Rocks, Goulding said that she &amp;quot;just can&amp;#039;t talk about&amp;quot; her rumoured relationship with 19-year-old Horan. The chart-topper said: &amp;quot;I won&amp;#039;t ever talk about my love life any more because it&amp;#039;s always then gone wrong when I have in the past.&amp;quot; However, she admitted that she had been targeted by some &amp;quot;interesting&amp;quot; tweets in the days following the reports.   Goulding said: &amp;quot;Thankfully I&amp;#039;m able to take it all with a pinch of salt because I&amp;#039;ve been told to be that way. &amp;quot;I genuinely mean this - I don&amp;#039;t hate on anyone, but at least One Direction fans are very passionate and my fans are very passionate too. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;d hate it if people didn&amp;#039;t care about what they thought.&amp;quot;  Goulding said that she has &amp;quot;finally realised just how hard it is to hold down a relationship&amp;quot; after splitting from British actor Jeremy Irvine. She explained: &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve not just been away for a week, I&amp;#039;ve been away for two months at a time. It&amp;#039;s hard to keep anything together. &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t even get a chance to see my friends and my family and that&amp;#039;s tough. It&amp;#039;s the downside of my job, being destined to be single for a while.&amp;quot; Goulding&amp;#039;s latest single &amp;#039;Burn&amp;#039; is currently on track for a second week at the top of the UK singles chart. Her new album Halcyon Days will be released on Monday, August 26. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
