Lily Allen: 'I've had three breakdowns'

Lily Allen has revealed that she has had three nervous breakdowns "this century".

The 'Not Fair' singer, who lost a baby and split from Chemical Brothers musician Ed Simons in 2008, said that she went into rehab after struggling with "low points".

Allen told Q magazine: "On a personal level, my miscarriage was a horrible moment. And then there were the several breakdowns that I had.

"I'd say I've had three this century, which isn't great. There was one when I was 18 and I went into The Priory rehab clinic. I've had two really low points since then.

"I've got a touch of dysmorphia. I was sitting in bed last night and I caught sight of myself in the mirror. I said, 'God, I'm a funny looking thing'."
