Lily Allen has denied having a fight with Amy Winehouse after the Brit Awards and insists she was only photographed crying because she was saying goodbye to her boyfriend.

Lily told the Sun: “The story about me being in tears either because I didn’t win a Brit or had a fight with Amy is complete rubbish. She and I are friends and we were hanging out at the Brits and at the Oasis party afterwards.”

“I was talking to her .. ages. I always said that I wasn’t expecting to win, and that if I wasn’t going to win then I hoped Amy did. I’m very pleased for her.”

“The pictures of me crying in the papers were taken when I was saying goodbye to my boyfriend who I haven’t seen much of recently.”

“I’ve been working really hard and travelling a lot and I only got to see him at the Brits so the tears were just because I was leaving to get on yet another plane.”
