X Factor: Ella Henderson reveals how Adele helped her overcome personal battle
TETNEY'S Ella Henderson has revealed how singing sensation Adele helped her overcome a personal battle to accept her figure.
The 16-year-old lost two-and-a-half stone last year because she felt under pressure to achieve the perfect pop star image.

Ella said: "I couldn't believe a Grammy award-winner sent me a message on Twitter after my first performance. She is such an inspiration.
"There is pressure out there on young women. You look around you, in magazines and you think, 'Should I be skinny? Do I need to go on a diet?' It's easy to fall into that trap.
"Last year I was very body-conscious. I went completely the other way and I went underweight at a certain point. From the weight I am now, I lost about two-and-a-half stone.
"Now I've found the right balance and I'm happy. I'm a normal-sized girl. I'll never be a size zero, that's just not going to happen, but I'm simply going to be myself and I hope people will accept me for who I am."
