Lily Allen: People shout at me on the Tube

Singer's fans don't expect to see her with an Oyster card

Lily Allen prefers to avoid trains in the capital now

Lily Allen won't travel on the London Underground because she's too easily recognised.

The singer had a bad experience a few years ago, which freaked her out.

‘I’m a bit haunted by it now,’ Lily, 24, tells the Daily Mirror. ‘I was trying to get into the centre of town to see my boyfriend and I was on my own.

‘People started shouting and singing [my song] Smile. I was in tears: “Just leave me alone!” And people were like: “What are you doing on the Tube?”

‘I thought, “You know what? I’m not going to get on the Tube for a while”.’
