 Ellie Goulding's performance at Victoria Festival in Portsmouth this weekend didn't quite go as expected. The 36-year-old Starry Eyed singer was belting out her club classic Miracle when she was seemingly hit in the face by a pyrotechnic via an on-stage machine. Totally shocked, Ellie can be heard screaming and shouting, 'F***!' as the fire blasted upwards and she held her face. Luckily, Ellie was able to continue the performance and appeared to be unscathed after the incident. The star didn't address the worrying footage until last night, when she took to Instagram to reassure fans she was okay. 'To those asking I am ok!' she began. 'Pyro didn't hit me directly in the face. Face is intact. Love you thank you x.'
