The 22-year-old singer posted a tearful confession on her Myspace page complaining she felt "fat and ugly" and saying she was considering plastic surgery.

Now Allen has revealed it was brought on by reading hurtful comments in which Cole branded her a "chick with a d***".

Lily Allen has blasted Cheryl Cole for comments made on Gordon Ramsay's show

In her latest post, Allen said Cole's jibe - coupled with the constant comparisons to supermodel Kate Moss as they launched rival fashion ranges - which pushed her over the edge.

And she hit back with a furious rant at Cole, referring to her by her maiden name, Tweedy.

She wrote: "Hi guys, I'm sorry if I worried anyone with the blog I wrote yesterday. I was feeling pretty sorry for myself. I've been reading all your comments and they have made me realise there is more to life than being thin! So thank you.

"I think I was just having a hard time last week after reading Cheryl Tweedy's comments branding me a 'chick with a d***'.

"I was feeling pretty low and as well as that, some of you might know I launched my clothing line for New Look last Tuesday, and seeing my picture in so many newspapers next to Kate Moss's made me feel grotesque momentarily.

"I know it's a silly way to feel and I am incredibly proud of myself and my achievements over the past year. There are so many good things about my life. I really am incredibly lucky. I guess it shows how much of an effect the media can have on us young ladies."

Lily Allen posted this shot of her in tears on her MySpace page

"Cheryl, if you're reading this, I may not be as pretty as you but at least I write and SING my own songs without the aid of autotune. I must say taking your clothes off, doing sexy dancing and marrying a rich footballer must be very gratifying, your mother must be so proud, stupid b****."

Cole made her comments during an appearance on Gordon Ramsay's Channel 4 show The F Word.
