Lily Allen to stay single

Feb 4, 2009, 18:35 GMT

Lily Allen is planning to stay single for two years.

The British singer says she will be too busy for romance after the release of latest album 'It's Not Me, It's You'.

Lily, 22, told Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "I'm in that mindset where I realise I'm going to be so busy for the next two years. Even if I was to meet someone, I don't have the time.

"There's not really any specific kind of guy I go for - I'm still trying to work out what my type is.

"Maybe I should try somebody younger as the older man thing hasn't worked out so well."

Lily had a brief relationship with art dealer Jay Jopling, 45, over Christmas and previously dated Chemical Brothers musician Ed Simons, 38. The couple initially split after Lily miscarried, but reunited briefly last summer.

The singer - who topped the UK singles charts with her latest song 'The Fear' on Sunday (01.02.09) - also revealed details of a snowball fight which erupted into violence in Primrose Hill, London, on Monday (02.02.09), leaving one man badly beaten.

She added: "It is really sad. We were having a brilliant day but then it all went a bit crazy and I was trying to look after these little kids who were getting caught up in it all. Up until then though it had been loads of fun and a fab way of celebrating getting to number one."

Lily has also released dates for a North American tour in April, starting in California and ending in Ontario, Canada.
