Lily Allen's fat depression

Nov 11, 2006, 8:00 GMT

Lily Allen says her weight makes her feel depressed.

The singer has revealed she felt miserable about her body when she saw how skinny the models were at a recent Paris fashion show.

Lily told Glamour magazine: "I was looking at all the models. Gemma Ward looked great. It struck me how skinny models are. They made me very aware of my own size 10. It's depressing."

The 'Smile' singer, the daughter of British TV star Keith Allen, says her depression worsened when she tried on some designer clothes.

She said: "The first Chanel dress I tried on was so gorgeous. But it was so small I would need to go on a laxative diet to wear it. Joke! The outfits were all sample size - for models - and were too tight for me."

The 21-year-old pop star has also said Victoria Beckham is the only celebrity to ever leave her star-struck.

Lily, who was reported to have recently hit out at Victoria for being a bad role model to young girls, said: "It's quite funny because whatever I'm 'supposed' to have said about Victoria, she's the only person to have left me star struck as a child.

"I met her when my mum had dinner with her at the Ivy restaurant. I had no idea she would be there and I was lost for words when I went to collect some keys."
