“I met Jared Leto at Soho House in Berlin,” she revealed. “The tour manager I’m working with at the moment used to work with him so I met him and I invited him to my gig.

“We didn’t really expect him to turn up because I was playing to about a hundred people and then two days later he was playing to like fifteen thousand. So I didn’t expect him to turn up and he came and he was really lovely.

“He invited me to play with him at that gig to all those thousands of people and I was already doing a gig, so I couldn’t go but he is a lovely, lovely guy.

Aplin, who toured with Ed Sheeran in Australia earlier this year, also told us what it was like travelling with the Give Me Love star…

“Touring with Ed was very, very calm,” the Home singer said. “For the size of the venues we were doing. If it were my show I would be so stressed …but he was very, very calm and chilled and just didn’t really get stressed about anything and I think that had a really positive effect on me and everyone who was working with him.”
