Lily Allen admits teenage years are a blur of drink and drugs

Lily Allen has revealed that she can hardly remember her teenage years because she spent much of the time drunk or taking drugs.

The 21 year old has admitted that she first took ecstasy when she was just 13 years old: “I took my first E in 1997 at the Chemical Brothers’ set at Glastonbury, so I would have been about 13.”

“I didn’t see it as anything special because it was all I knew. Things were f**ked up - my mum had a nervous breakdown and my dad was doing whatever he was doing.”

“Between the ages of 16 and 19 is such a blur; I couldn’t do a day without smoking a eighth of weed - I was f**ked.”

“I did it because I had nothing better to do. I didn’t have a job, I wasn’t at school and drugs are quite fun.”

“At the same time, I wasn’t this drug addict sitting on street corners and I was pretty enough to get free drugs off boys.”

Lily is currently at number one in the UK charts with her debut single, ‘Smile’.
