Nelly Furtado made an appearance on Loose Women to promote her new album Ride on Wednesday, and opened up about her dating life following a "difficult" break-up in 2016. The star, whose hits include I'm Like a Bird and Turn Off the Light, explained: "I went through an emotional, difficult time last summer and I wrote and sung to myself songs to get through it." She then joked that her Wikipedia page still stated that she was in a relationship, requesting that it be changed so she can date. "I am single," she said. "Someone here needs to update my Wikipedia, it's not helping my dating life!"
