Lily Allen blames TV for weight gain

Lily Allen says her TV talk show is making her gain weight.

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 told Britain's Grazia magazine: "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."
