Singer reveals writing sessions ended with wardrobe malfunction

Lily Allen has said a writing session with Damon Albarn went so badly she ended up accidentally flashing the Blur man.

Her musical collaboration with Albarn – whose other bands include The Good, The Bad & The Queen and Gorillaz – was already going badly when she suffered a 'wardrobe malfunction'.

The singer told The Observer Music Monthly that the pair had failed to write any songs together and, as she got up to leave, two buttons popped on her shirt, leaving her accidentally revealing her "bra-less chest" to the Blur singer.

"I'm so cool," the singer joked of the incident, adding that Albarn wasn't the only musical hero she wanted to work with, after her song 'Who'd Have Known', from forthcoming new album 'It's Not Me It's You', accidentally ripped off Take That's 'Shine'.

The band liked Allen's song and allowed her to continue with it, but turned down the chance to sing on the track, much to the singer's disappointment.

"I was looking forward to doing a video with them," she moaned, "me and Mark Owen holding hands!"

Allen, meanwhile, has announced a new London show at Shepherds Bush Empire on March 27, after her previous date the night before sold out.

I'd love to have been a fly on the wall at that mockney studio session..."I'm more working class!" "No, I'M more working class!"...."Sod it, lets go down the Ivy."

I bet he had a treat. Lily has lovely little bosoms. i think Damon has stuck a pin in his 'mockney' allusions. i think he has demonstrated this by writing an opera and not shouting 'oi!' since about 1997. I am looking forward to seeing his addidas collection on the reunion tour though....

Is there actually anyone who hasn't saw her norks? And beyond?It's a scary situation when Keith Allen can claim to be the secoind most annoying person in the family.

lucky old damon albarn! I WELL fancy lily allen - and she makes great tunes. People who don't like her tend to be metallica fans in one direction, or crystal castles fans in the other, either way, go away
