Lily Allen: My next boyfriend might be nearer 60

Singer is attracted to more mature men

Lily Allen's brother Alfie is engaged to Ray Winstone's daughter Jaime

Lily Allen reckons she'll end up dating a much older guy.

The singer split from art dealer Jay Jopling, 45, in January after a brief holiday romance.

‘There’s this thing about me and older men as my boyfriends have gone up in terms of age,’ she says.

‘Maybe the next one’s going to be nearer 60!’

But Lily, 23, insists she's not a man-eater.

‘I am shy – all the time,’ she says. ‘I get really shy meeting new people especially. I don’t know what to say.

'People presume too much of me. I’m not the person they think I am.’

Lily used to date 38-year-old Chemical Brothers star Ed Simons.
