Ellie Goulding’s museum present for Dougie Poynter


Ellie Goulding treated Dougie Poynter to a private museum tour for his 27th birthday.

The ‘Burn’ singer whisked her McBusted boyfriend off to London’s Natural History Museum at midnight on Friday (28.11.14) for an intimate stroll around the exhibits.

Posting an image on Instagram of the couple in front of a dinosaur skeleton, Dougie wrote: "I got the Natural History Museum for my birthday! Thank you to me luuuuvly lady. (sic)"

Despite coming up with the idea, his singer/songwriter girlfriend – who turns 28 later this month – seemed to find the experience a bit more scary than she hoped, describing the evening as "eerie".

Writing on her own Instagram account, she said: "The Natural History Museum at midnight. Eerie when there’s only two of you… (sic)"

The twilight trip was not the only part of the ‘Air Guitar’ singer’s birthday treat, having already enjoyed a vegan cookie cake and a massage earlier in the evening.

Dougie officially celebrated his birthday on Sunday (30.11.14), and the star visited a zoo to mark the occasion, sharing images of penguins on his social networks.

However, his bandmate Matt Willis previously suggested a stripper may be the perfect gift for his pal.

The 31-year-old star said: "I’ve got a brilliant idea for Dougie’s birthday. I’m not allowed to go to strip clubs, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have strippers somewhere else. A strip pub, maybe?"
