LILY ALLEN has explained why she sent a topless photo of herself to The Kaiser Chiefs.
Allen, 24, said the picture she sent to frontman Ricky Wilson was a mistake.
Ricky told BBC Radio 1 DJ Chris Moyles he was surprised to receive a strange message from Lily.
He said: "I got this weird text the other day from Lily Allen of her topless."
But speaking to thehothits.com, she said it was simply a case of mistaken identity.
She said: "I have a girlfriend called Ricki. It wasn't like a sexy topless picture - it was just me on the beach and I happened to not have a top on.
"I was trying to make her jealous and go like 'haha, look where I am, I'm on the beach, I'm all hot and sunny' and then I get a text back from Ricky from the Kaiser Chiefs going 'woo, Christmas came early!"
