Beth Ditto has admitted that she is hoping to follow in Lily Allen's footsteps by designing a clothing range for New Look.

The Gossip frontwoman revealed that she is in talks with the high street retailer about fronting her own fashion range.

She said: "I’m in talks to do something with New Look at the moment. I love their stuff. Lily Allen is not to be messed with, but I think she tries to be a role model, which can be tough."

Allen's Lily Loves line - a range of clothing, shoes and accessories designed by the 'Smile' star - became available in New Look's 200 UK stores in May.
