Lily Allen is finally happy with her body.

The 'Not Fair' singer - who often wears outrageous, brightly coloured ensembles during her performances - doesn't care what people think of her figure anymore because she's at a point in her life where she finally feels comfortable in her own skin.

She said: "I'm healthy now. When I was fat I'd find stories with people criticising me for being fat. It made it all worse. I'm just over the whole body thing.

"I honestly don't care anymore. I'll never be teeny tiny like Cheryl Cole or Dannii Minogue, but I've stopped comparing myself".

The 24-year-old British star is the same size as the average woman and that's all that matters to her.

She said: "I'm normal, I'm over beating myself up about it. Yes, I've lost weight, because my body shape has changed as I've got older."

Lily also claims her self-confidence has been boosted by her builder boyfriend Sam Cooper - who she has been dating for several months.

She added: "I'm happy because I'm with someone who'd hate me to change anything about myself. I've still got a big bum and thighs, but they're the parts of my body my boyfriend is always grabbing. I've lost that obsession and paranoia."
