Lily Allen: Kate Moss saved me from Glastonbury bullies

Model helped the singer after she was set upon at the festival

If you thought Lily Allen and Kate Moss were fashion rivals, think again.

It seems the pair are actually the best of friends.

In fact, 21-year-old Lily has revealed the supermodel once came to her rescue - after she was beaten up at Glastonbury festival by a group of girls.

'I only have nice things to say about Kate,' Lily told This Morning. 'These girls beat me up and she was the one person that stood in and said: "Leave her alone, you're being a bully."

'They stabbed me in the ear with a beer can and cut my ear open and I had two black eyes, it was a nightmare.

'It was just girls being silly. I think one of them thought I was sleeping with her boyfriend or something - which I wasn't!'

Rescuer Kate has no need to worry about Lily being her fashion rival, anyway. The Lily Loves range for High Street chain New Look hit the shops yesterday - to a quiet reception.

There was no scrum outside stores - in contrast to the extraordinary scenes which greeted the launch of Ms Moss's range for Topshop.

That won't make Lily smile.
