'My gin, bubbly, beer and vodkas were spiked,' insists Lily Allen after being carried out of awards
Updated 02:17am on 6 Jun 2008
Lily Allen says her drink may have been spiked after she had to be carried out of the Glamour Women Of The Year Awards on Tuesday night.
Last night Lily was overheard chatting to Janet Street-Porter outside The Royal Academy of Arts 24th Summer Exhibition Preview Party in Piccadilly, suggesting her condition may not have had anything to do with the prodigious amount of alcohol she consumed.

Late night exit: Lily left the event with her former boyfriend Seb Chew
The 23-year-old said: 'Yeah, I don't know what happened, maybe I was spiked. I don't remember a thing. I can normally get really drunk, but not like that.'
Lily's night at the Glamour awards took a turn for the worse after a brief spell in the toilets left her incapable of standing up straight.
Earlier she had been spotted taking full advantage of the free bar - drinking champagne, gin, vodka and Asahi beer.
After a trip to the bathroom, security staff carried her outside, passing her over a fence and putting her in a cab.
Guests: Tracey Emin also attended the opening of her Summer Exhibition gallery with Scott McKnee

Lily says her drinks must have been spiked at the Glamour Women of the Year Awards on Tuesday night
Last night she said: 'The worrying thing was that I was like a dead weight. I have been out so many times and got drunk and never ended up like that.
'What was worse was that the cab just drove off with only me in it. My brother and my mates were not with me.
'I didn't have my house keys or my bag, so I felt totally vulnerable. When I finally got home I just passed out.'
Although she may have hit the headlines yesterday, Lily was keen to not repeat the performance last night.
She added: 'I purposefully drove here so I wouldn't drink. I'm going to be really good tonight.
'Someone asked if I'm turning into Britney Spears. What can you say to that?'
Lily spent the evening flirting with her ex boyfriend Seb Chew, and had both her arms around him at one point.
They sneaked out separately but he jumped into her car and they drove off.

Yeah, that's happened to me loads! I go out, have a couple of pints of lager, a few glasses of white wine, some tequila's and a few flaming sambukas and I get into the same state as Lily. It had never occurred to me that my drinks might have been spiked! (with alcohol!)

Every time I go out for a drink someone always seems to spike mine as well. I have also noticed that I seem to get a virus the next day and have to stay in bed.
