Singer and actress Lily Allen has opened up about her relationship with food in a new interview, revealing she goes for long periods without eating and doesn’t really “get hungry.”

“I’m actually really bad … I don’t really get hungry,’ she said in the latest episode of the Off Menu podcast.

“It’s when I see food I’m like, ‘Oh yeah, I should eat’.”

“I think basically my stomach goes quite long distances without eating then it has a little bit and it goes ‘yes’.”

Allen insists she “loves eating.”

But despite this Allen, 37, insists that she “loves food.”

“I love eating, but I’m just not very good at remembering to do things. I get up in the morning and I’m looking after kids and I just forget,” she said.

Allen also revealed that she has a “weird stipulation” when it comes to fast food and other mass-made meals.

“I can’t really eat food if it hasn’t been ordered and made for me … I can’t really deal with the idea that you order something and it’s just been taken from a pile of food that has already been made,” she said.

Allen’s no fan of fast food or plane meals.

‘I’m not really up for food mass production.’

“It has to be some kind of intention behind it for me. I can’t eat plane food because it’s also just come from a warehouse.

“This doesn’t make me sound like a very good person, does it? I suppose actually it’s a sort of quite anti-capitalist way of thinking of eating. I’m not really up for food mass production and consumption of food.”

Allen’s comments about her eating habits come as the Smile singer has appeared noticeably slimmer in recent years. Her Instagram posts are frequently flooded with comments from fans expressing concern about her weight loss.

Allen told a fan in 2021 she’s healthier than ever.

In the early years of her music career.

But Allen addressed those concerns in a 2021 response to a fan, insisting that she’s healthier than ever.

“Worried about you Lily. I feel like we’ve grown up together and I’ve never see you this thin,” wrote one fan.

“You’ve never seen me two years completely sober, not smoking and exercising every day,” the mum-of-two replied.

Allen, who is now married to David Harbour, shares daughters Ethel and Marnie with ex-husband, Sam Cooper.

Allen has in the past revealed she suffered with bulimia at various points throughout her career, saying: “I would love to be the skinniest, minniest person in the world but I can’t do that without being unhappy. I like food.”

And in a 2018 interview with Cosmopolitan, she revealed she “started not eating” before “having to do photo shoots and red carpets” ahead of her second album release.
