Lily Allen never felt loved as a child.

Lily - the daughter of musician Keith Allen and film producer Alison Owen - says her parents were so involved in their own lives when she was growing up, they never paid much attention to her.

She said: "I probably did lack the tender loving care that most kids get if their mum's at home all the time. I suppose, all I wanted was for someone to give me a big hug but that never really came."

Despite her family gripes, Lily, 21, has no regrets about her past.

She said: "I'm very happy with myself. If I hadn't had the upbringing I had, I wouldn't be the person I am, so I'm grateful.

"I feel like I've dealt with a lot of emotional s**t people don't deal with until their twenties or thirties and I am on my way of figuring out happiness."

Lily is up for three awards at this week's BRITs - British Female, British Breakthrough and MasterCard British Album.
