“I’m not proud…”

Lily Allen has revealed that she paid for sex with multiple female escorts during her marriage to Sam Cooper.

The singer spoke about her upcoming autobiography on Instagram and revealed some of the secrets from her “dark days” that she talks about in the book.

“So in my book, I detail some stuff from my dark days, around the Sheezus era,” Lily wrote.

Ahead of the story being revealed through news outlets today, Lily wanted to share that she slept with female escorts while she was away from her husband Sam Cooper on tour around four years ago.

“I slept with female escorts when I was on tour, cause I was lost and lonely and looking for something.

“I’m not proud but I’m not ashamed. I don’t do it anymore.

“The Mail is gonna run with the story tomorrow because someone leaked it, and they’re bound to make it sound worse than it was.”

When one follower commented asking if there was “something wrong with being a female escort”, Lily responded by saying, “I’m not proud because I was married at the time.”

Lily previously admitted to cheating on her husband in an interview, during a difficult time five years ago.

The singer said she struggled after having a stillbirth and then having her two daughters in a short space of time and said it all came to a head when her label “made her” sing on the John Lewis ad back in 2013 and release new music.

“I lost my sense of self. I lose my identity. I was being a bad mum,” Lily revealed in the interview with Vulture.

“I was being bad at my job. I’d wake up on a tour bus in the middle of Wisconsin and be so hungover.

“I cheated on my husband. All I wanted to do was be with my kids.

Lily and Sam married back in 2011 but split five years later in 2016 after over a year of reports that they had gone their separate ways.
