Lily Allen has admitted she is so broke she has had to sell her £35,000 BMW 320 convertible to put food on the table.

Despite her huge success of new album, ‘It’s not me it’s you,’ and selling millions of records worldwide, the singer has splashed her cash on extravagant items she can no longer afford to keep. Lily said, “I’ve been hit big time by the credit crunch. Actually, I just had to sell my car because I’m so broke.

“I bought a car last year and that was probably my biggest extravagance. Clothes too, I’m always buying clothes.”

The pop chick who loves to splurge her money on Chanel and YSL heels may have to resort to spending her cash on the high street in Primark for now; however, she doesn’t plan on staying broke for too long.

“I’m completely skint. I can’t even spend on credit cards. I mean, I won’t be, as I’m waiting until I get the royalties from the album and all the radio plays but that takes about a year. “The banks will usually front your money in that kind of situation but they are not lending at the moment so it’s a tricky time.”

The successful singer, whose recent single, The Fear, and album, It’s Not Me It’s You, both hit the Number One spot, doesn’t think that the music industry might not be her number one priority for much longer.

The 23-year-old singer said, “Isn’t the point of life to find a partner? That’s the idea, isn’t it? I don’t know if I want to get married. I know I want to be falling in love, that’s the good s***.”

The singer hasn’t been the luckiest in love, recently splitting with art dealer, Jay Jopling, 45.

Early 2008 saw Allen split from Ed Simons of The Chemical Brothers shortly after she suffered a miscarriage with his child.

Lilly is sensible in knowing her career may not last forever and has taken to some sweet hobbies to keep her entertained.

“I’m really enjoying my life but if it lasts, it lasts, and if it doesn’t I’ll find something else. There’s always a cake shop. I really like baking.”
