'Working on my TV show is making me fat,' says Lily Allen (but her outfits don't help either)

Updated 07:58am on 23 Apr 2008


Lily Allen proudly debuted her sleek new figure late last year after dropping two dress sizes in just six weeks, declaring she'd "never been happier".

But her trimmer physique was fleeting, with the singer revealing the pounds have already crept back on.

Stressed: Lily Allen tried to hide her curves in baggy clothes during a coffee run this week

Shapeless: Lily wore a hospital gown style dress at the London premiere of Flashbacks of a Fool earlier this month

The 22-year-old has blamed the stress of filming her BBC3 television show Lily Allen and Friends for her weight gain, and has vowed to resume her healthy lifestyle.

In recent times the newly blonde star has attempted to keep her curves hidden in baggy clothes and shapeless dresses.

She told Grazia: "I don't look great at all. I've put on so much weight with all the stress of my TV show. I'm glad it's over."

"Now the show is over I am sure I will lose some weight, just naturally as well as exercising in the gym twice a week."

"I hate fat tummies so I hope it goes by summer."

Last year Lily shed 19lbs, saying the weight came off when she was told the "scary" news that she had the heart condition.

She said at the time: "I used to love nothing more than sitting in front of the telly with two packets of Ginger Nuts and two bags of milk bottle sweets - and I'd devour the lot.

"But this heart thing has made me cut back on all that kind of crap.

"I now find that, because I am looking after myself, I don't feel like eating the bad stuff so much."

Lily let her good habits slip after a miserable start to this year - she split from her Chemical Brothers boyfriend Ed Simons in January, not long after she suffered a miscarriage.

Despite opening to mixed reviews and disappointing ratings figures, Lily's chat show has been signed on for a second series.

I think she is an oil painting and should just enjoy her 22 years. Double that
and at 44 take a look then start to worry.

I'm sure that neither of the viewers of Lilly's chat show will mind her piling on the weight.
