It is not clear if Myles was aware that Tracey is Ellie's mother at first, but his followers soon alerted him to the fact.
While Ellie herself has stayed mum on the subject, Tracey hastily apologised and asserted that she believes she is not a racist.
She wrote: 'I'd like to apologise so much to you Myles and any upset it may have caused, I wrote something very childish I'm SO not racist, it was a flippant remark.
'I will not tolerate racism': Myles was furious and had this to say during the exchange
'I feel so totally ashamed about doing, it was taken out of context please forgive x.'
Myles then wrote that it looked like Tracey had deleted her account and she wrote: 'I have sent you a genuine apology, I have not deleted my account.
'I am not racist at all, it was taken out of context.
Sorry: Ellie herself has stayed mum on the subject (stock photo of the singer with her mother)

'This account doesn't exist': Tracey has since deleted her Twitter account following the exchange
'If you want to use it and folk want to use it, by all means carry on. I have not racially abused anyone it's a shame you think so.'
Tracey's Instagram account is now private and she has deleted her Twitter account.
MailOnline has contacted a spokeperson for Ellie Goulding for comment.
