Lily Allen has turned to the British Prime Minister in a bid to prevent the paparazzi taking photographs of her.

The outspoken singer says the weight of social responsibility does not fall on the celebrities getting drunk but on the photographers who take pictures of them and has asked Gordon Brown to do something to about it.

She said: "I got really irritated the other day when I read that Gordon Brown has vowed to clamp down on celebrities going out and getting really drunk because he said it's having a bad effect on young people.

"I was like, 'Why don't you f***ing do something about the paparazzi taking pictures the whole f***ing time? Then people won't have to read about it!'

"Stop the nation from becoming so obsessed with a bunch of f***ing idiotic reprobates and then you won't have a problem."

Lily, 23 - who is expecting her first baby with boyfriend, Chemical Brothers star Ed Simons - also said she refuses to worry about how she looks for the benefit of the paparazzi.

She told Marie Claire magazine: "I refuse to put my make-up on just because the paparazzi are on my doorstep. I find it morally wrong. I'm just walking to the f***ing shop!"
