Celebrity hair: Lily Allen looks glam

Lily Allen gives her TV show 5 out of 10

Singer doesn’t rate her presenting debut

Wednesday, 17 December 2008

Lily Allen has admitted that her chat show wasn’t very good.

Lily Allen And Friends, the singer’s first stint as a presenter, was panned by the critics.

And Lily, 23, admits she agrees with them.

‘It was a period when I decided not to be a singer or go on tour,’ she tells The Sun.

‘I made a lot of money out of it. Thank you, licence-payers, that was very nice of you. You think Russell Brand is your problem? Actually, it’s me.’

The show, which Lily scored 5 out of 10, is to be given a second series after BBC bosses deemed it a success.

‘Not everything has to be a massive ratings success on the BBC,’ an insider assured. ‘Lily’s show was aimed at younger viewers who don’t read newspaper reviews – or care about them.

‘We were happy with how the programme performed and it was a good effort for someone who has never fronted a television show before.’
