Dua Lipa has revealed she draws on memories of “emotionally manipulative” ex-boyfriends for musical inspiration.
The double Brit Award winning singer said some of her biggest hits have been inspired by troublesome exes.
Speaking to Rolling Stone she said: “I dated this guy who literally would never eat a single vegetable.
“I was like, ‘This is terrible. You eat like a five-year-old. I’m f****** out.’”
Lipa revealed that her hit single Hotter Than Hell was the product of a “tough breakup”.

Speaking about penning the track she said: “I was going through a tough breakup. Someone who made me feel like I wasn't good enough. But when I wrote this song, I wanted it to seem like he couldn't get enough of me.
“The song was good, but the chorus wasn’t quite there. We were like, ‘Let's scrap it’.”
She continued: “And I was scrolling through Tumblr, and I see the words Hotter than Hell in red on a black background. And I go, ‘That’s cool!’ What if he thought I was hotter than hell, and I just didn’t want him?”
