Lily Allen - what\'s a chav? © SOLARPIX.COM Photorazzi
Lily Allen has confessed she doesn't like being called a "chav".
The 21-year-old singer said she only wears lots of gold jewellery because she has gypsy blood in her family.
Lily said: "I don't like the term 'chav chic' to be honest - I find it quite derogatory.
"But I guess people assume chavs are people who wear tracksuits and gold jewellery.
"I wear lots of gold jewellery because I like it, but also because my dad's mother was a Romany gypsy, so it's kind of tradition.
"I'm a middle class girl from London."
The 'Smile' singer also revealed she has to keep her bedroom curtains closed all the time to stop paparazzi seeing her.
She said: "They're outside my house all the time and I have to keep my curtains drawn because my room looks out onto the street - it's annoying."
