We didn’t know she had her own show.

Lily Allen has denied that she was interested in James Corden after a nine-year-old old clip of the pair together surfaced online.

The singer was interviewing James on a BBC3 show in 2008 during the time when Gavin and Stacey was first on TV.

During their chat, they appear to flirt with one another.

At one point, Lily accuses James of trying to throw her off with his “dazzling eyes”, before her replies, “I don’t think you know how lovely you are.”

After a troll online tweeted this week that Lily looked like she was ‘horny’ for Corden in the clip, she replied saying that she felt pressured to go along with it when he ‘came on’ to her.

She claimed she’d have been branded “cold or up myself or snobbish” is she hadn’t entertained the actor.

For his part, James has not responded to the Twitter furore.
