Lily Allen blames TV for weight gain

The ‘Smile’ singer said the stress of her BBC Three late night series - which was recently commissioned for a second season despite poor reviews and ratings - is playing havoc with her diet and exercise regime.

She said: “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, 22, lost a massive 19lbs after being told she suffers from a heart murmur.

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