British star Ella Mai described her success in the US as “insane” following the popularity of her song Boo’d Up.

The London-born singer-songwriter, 23, saw her single reach number five in the charts across the Atlantic and it has so far spent 23 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100.

But it failed to replicate that success in the UK, peaking at number 52 in July.

Usually, British stars find breaking America the toughest challenge and Mai said she is delighted with how her career is developing.
