Lily Allen: I had to sell my car because I’m so broke

Singer has been hit hard by the credit crunch

Lily Allen is currently single

Lily Allen is feeling the effects of the recession.

The singer has sold off her £35,000 BMW 320 convertible to put food on the table.

‘I’ve been hit big time by the credit crunch,’ she says. ‘Actually, I just had to sell my car because I’m so broke.

‘I bought a car last year and that was probably my biggest extravagance. Clothes too, I’m always buying clothes.

But Lily, 23, is confident her fortunes will turn around soon.

I’m completely skint. I can’t even spend on credit cards,’ she tells the Daily Mirror.

‘I mean, I won’t be, as I’m waiting until I get the royalties from the album and all the radio plays but that takes about a year.

‘The banks will usually front your money in that kind of situation but they are not lending at the moment so it’s a tricky time.’
