Lily Allen admits to Snow Patrol crush

Lily Allen has confessed that she has a soft spot for Snow Patrol frontman Gary Lightbody.

The singer admitted to her crush at MTV’s Oxegen festival in Ireland.

She said: "If I had to share a tent with anyone it would be Gary Lightbody from Snow Patrol.

"They look like they’d be clean that lot, I don’t know if I’d say the same for myself."

Lightbody sang a Snow Patrol track for Allen at the festival.

Just before launching into ‘Shut Your Eyes’, he said: "I’m going to sing this song for Lily Allen. She’s a great girl, she’s really something. So this one’s dedicated to her."

The Oxegen festival will air on MTV Two on Friday, July 31 at 9pm.
