Lily Allen: I get paranoid about new boyfriends

Singer thinks guys will sell stories about her

Lily Allen split from Ed Simons of the Chemical Brothers in 2008

Lily Allen hates the media attention surrounding her love life. 

The singer, who is currently single, finds it hard to keep her relationships secret.

‘I’ve had a couple of times when I’ve got to know someone over a few weeks and we’ve had a really great time here, just watching TV and shagging,’ she says.

‘And then I get paranoid because I get like, “I don’t want to leave the house with you, because I don’t want us to be photographed together and for us to suddenly have to justify our relationship, when we don’t know what it is yet.”’

Lily, 23, also worries boyfriends might sell their stories.

‘If I meet someone who’s not part of the showbiz industry, I think, “Should I sleep with this person?"' she tells Observer Music Monthly. 'Are they going to walk out of here and be straight on their phone?”

'Or you feel, “Oh – it’s gone naff,” because they’re secretly enjoying having their photo taken.

‘I guess that’s why people go out with famous people, but there aren’t any that I really fancy.’
