Lily Allen's detox diet

Singer in her best shape ever

Lily Allen looking slim and happy before jetting away on holiday

Topless on the beach in Jamaica recently, Lily Allen cut a very different figure to the one seen last summer at Cannes.

Then, unflattering photos showed the evidence of her party lifestyle. But Lily, 23, has since toned down her wild ways – and the pounds have fallen off.

‘Lily feels under pressure to lose weight all the time,’ a friend tells Now.

‘She used to eat a lot of junk food, particularly when she was hungover, but she’s lost nearly a stone and a half thanks to cutting out alcohol and rubbish food. It’s that simple.’

Her new album It’s Not Me It’s You is out next month, another reason to get in shape.

‘The second album is a watershed. She knows that her public appearances will be scrutinised, so she wants to look her best,' the source adds.

‘There’s nothing worse, in her mind, than waking up the day after a big night to see unflattering pictures and to find that everyone’s been commenting on how drunk she was. Lily’s much more together now.’
