Lily Allen gripped by Olympic fever

The 27-year-old singer has been glued to her TV set watching a number of events, such as cycling and diving, since the London 2012 sporting spectacle officially got underway on Friday evening (27.07.12) - but she took to her twitter account to lambast some of her male friends who are rating female athletes purely on their sex appeal.

She tweeted: "Watching lympix with Lads is unbearable. female athletes are being scored on bonkability only. BLOOD IS BOILING. (sic)"

Lily is gearing up to watch British diving pair Tom Daley and Peter Waterfield go for a gold medal later today (30.07.12) in the 10m synchronised diving final, and she is keen to see Team GB bring home as many medals as possible.

In a series of tweets, she wrote: "It's Tom Daley Day !!!! Go on TOM

"And Pete, and all the other Team GB athletes competing. (sic)"

Lily is desperate to see Team GB's beach volleyball beauties Zara Dampney and Shauna Mullin in action at Horse Guards Parade after watching the pair beat Canada yesterday (29.07.12), but emotions got the better of the brunette beauty - who is expecting her second child with husband Sam Cooper - while watching the cycling.

In a series of tweets, she wrote: "I wanna go to the beach volleyball #sport #Olympics.

"I CAN'T WATCH #cycling #sport #lympix (sic)"
