Lily Allen has released a brand new track online that she admits won't feature on her second album because she's "ripped off" Take That.
'Who'd Of Known' is being streamed on Myspace.com/lilymusic but is not likely to have a conventional release, due to the similarity of its chorus to a Take That song.
The track bears resemblance to 'Shine', the boy band's 2007 Number One hit.
Writing on her blog, Allen explained: "I have put up a song that won't make it on the album. I ripped off the chorus from Take That and I can't be bothered with the paperwork."
