Lily Allen

LILY Allen has defended herself against complaints that the setlist of her West End Girl Tour is “too short”.

The singer, 41, released the album in October of last year and it features 14 songs.

The album in its entirety is only 45 minutes, which has led some to question if the £86 ticket fee is value for money.

Complaining about the show, one X user said: “Lily Allen at the O2. No support act. Arrived on stage at 9:10pm. All wrapped up by 10pm. Not one word to the audience.”

Addressing the backlash over the length of the gigs, Lily responded to the comment directly with a statement.

It reads: “There is a support act.

“The show has always been advertised as “Lily Allen performs West End Girl.”

“I was a few mins late as my tights were laddered and i had to change them.

“The show is just over an hour as it’s just the album in its entirety. It’s my artistic choice not to talk to the audience, the fourth wall helps with the storytelling.

“Most people find it to be effective. I don’t want anyone to feel ripped off,

“Everyone on this tour is really working very hard to give people the best show we possibly can, and i’m extremely proud of it.”

Fans responding to the post praised Lily for speaking up and supporting her artistic vision with the shorter album.

One user said: “I was there last night and it was incredible, you are incredible!”

A second shared: “You tell them, the girls that get it get it.”

A third added: “The concept of buying tickets to a show called “Lily Allen Performs West End Girl” and being mad that you didn’t hear Not Fair [another track of hers], like let’s use our brains for a moment.”

West End Girl is Lily’s fifth studio album to date.

PREGNANT Daisy Lowe showed off her baby bump as she joined Lily Allen and Vick Hope at a Royal Academy event.

The model and former Strictly star revealed she was pregnant with her second child in February.

Her pregnancy came just seven months after she tied the knot with husband Jordan Saul.

The couple already have daughter Ivy together, and as Daisy showed off her burgeoning bump on the red carpet, it looks like it won’t be too much longer until the family of three becomes four.

Daisy, 37, was attending the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition preview party at Burlington House, and wore a cream, lace dress which featured a large slit up the back, allowing her to show off her legs as she walked.

Daisy was joined at the event by Lily Allen, who wore a striking gown which featured a black mesh overlay and a cream feather drape detail running from her neck down her back to the floor.
