    Lily Allen has been a role model for young girls in the UK for years, not just for her successful singing career but also for her healthy curves.
    And now the 26-year-old has spoken out about the unhealthy lifestyle that keeps models and other pop stars scarily thin, that she has seen with her own eyes.
    ‘I hang out with models, the biggest pop stars and, you know, really and honestly, I hate saying this, but none of them are achieving those body shapes by being healthy,’ she revealed.

    In her latest interview with Elle magazine, Lily posed in two blue dresses and said: ‘They’re not just going to the gym two hours a day.
     
    ‘They’re not eating or they’re taking speed not to eat. In America everyone abuses that Adderall stuff and people aren’t normal.’
    Her raw interview doesn’t name any names but she is clearly referring to people that she has spent a lot of time with and monitored their eating habits.

    When the Smile singer was at her thinnest point, she says she wasn’t herself at all and was ‘deeply unhappy most of the time’.
    She added: ‘I wasn’t eating then, you know, [I was] going out at night. I guess when you’re not eating you have to distract yourself with other things.
    ‘Come three o’clock it was like, ‘Oh I suppose it’s acceptable to have a glass of wine.’ And then by four o’clock I would have had four glasses. It’s not the way to be.’

    Lily said that once she started dating Sam Cooper, now her husband, he noticed her bad behaviour and helped her change her attitude.
    As she discussed her body hang ups, the star, who became Mrs Cooper last month, said she also doesn’t like wearing certain clothes if she feels like there is too much on display.
    But despite her own insecurities she says Sam makes her feel brilliant and loves every piece of her body.
    On their wedding day, it was also revealed that the couple are pregnant and her tiny bump was slightly visible underneath her gorgeous dress.
    Even before Lily and Sam became husband and wife, she had personalised Louis Vuitton luggage made with her married initials LRC (Lily Rose Cooper) printed, which she says freaked her husband out.
    ‘He was really freaked out when he saw it. I practised my signature within an hour of him proposing’, she said.
    But the couple are happier than ever and you can read Lily’s full interview in the August issue of Elle, on sale on Wednesday.
    Lily Allen is also about to launch her new autumn/winter collection for Lucy in Disguise, available from August 15.
