With a number of hits under her belt including 'Gecko (Overdrive)', 'Wish You Well', and her latest single 'Better Off Without You', Hits Radio Breakfast caught up with Becky Hill.

Becky joined Fleur East and James to talk about her current single 'Better Off Without You', her upcoming performance at Coachella and how she would LOVE to be back on The Voice - but this time as a judge.

A number of Becky Hill's songs, including her latest single and 'Wish You Well' with Sigala, were inspired by Becky's boyfriend when the couple split. However, she revealed to Fleur and the team that she's actually BACK with him!

As James talked her through the stages of break-up from her songs, from 'Wish You Well' to 'Better Off Without You', he then asked, "What stage are you at now?"

"I'm back with him," Becky admitted laughing, "I think I started talking to him at the end of last year..."

And it turns out they aren't the only two songs that Becky's boyfriend has inspired her to write. "'I Could Get Used To This', was written about him... 'Sunrise In The East' was also written about him," Becky revealed, "So, he's inspired me a lot over the years."

During the interview, Fleur also played a game in honour of her song called 'Better Off With or Without'. Becky had to answer if she was better with or without, group chats, Donald Trump, Winter, and people who clap when planes land!

Admitting she was tempted to clap a couple of weeks ago when they were flying through a storm, Becky did reveal that she thinks she's, "Better off WITHOUT" people who clap after "normal smooth flights".
