Katy Perry: 'Lily Allen looks hot'

Katy Perry has said that she never meant to offend Lily Allen when she mentioned her in an interview last year.

Perry had described herself as "a skinnier version of Lily Allen," which led the 'Smile' singer to call her "crass" and threaten to post her phone number on the web.

She told Heat: "I really didn't mean to upset her. What I actually said was that I was a skinnier version of Lily Allen and a fatter version of Amy Winehouse.

"But Lily is skinny now. She is hot - she looks really good."

Last month, Allen revealed that her self-confidence had been boosted since she started a healthy eating diet.
