And I wrote \u2018he\u2019s a bloody a**hole\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cEveryone listened to it and they aren\u2019t British, so they literally thought \u2018bloody a**hole?\u2019 Like something surgically or medically was going on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nThe American singer has a soft spot for the UK.<\/p>\n<p>\nOlivia has made no secret of her love of British cuisine &#8211; including dippy eggs &#8211; and recently revealed she consumed three sticky toffee puddings ahead of her Glastonbury set.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe said: &#8220;I stayed at this [hotel] that had the best sticky toffee pudding, and I was like, &#8216;You know what? I gotta do it&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;If the toffee&#8217;s really hot and the ice cream melts on top, it&#8217;s really good.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nShe loves dippy eggs and soldiers (toast) so much; her friends buy her egg cups.<\/p>\n<p>\nOlivia said: &#8220;My favourite thing is dipping soldiers into an egg.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I got really obsessed with it. My friends even bought me different egg cups from all over the world.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nOlivia&#8217;s new album features a Brit, with Robert Smith of The Cure featuring on the track What&#8217;s Wrong With Me.<\/p>\n<p>\nRevealing her favourite songs on the album, she said: \u201cI think The Cure is my favourite song.
