Lily Allen's always struggled with her weight, so when she unveiled a newly honed size 8 body back in 2009 she was praised for finally battling her body demons.

But the singer has now bravely confessed that she was in the grip of a dangerous eating disorder.

Lily, 25, confesses: 'There was a point that summer where I would say I had an eating disorder. I used to vomit after meals.

'It's not something I'm proud of.

'I tell you what, a lot of people would come up to me and tell me how great I looked - I'd be on the cover of magazines and people would be going: "Wow, she looks amazing - look how much weight she's lost."'

Lily's weight loss boosted her confidence and she was addicted to her thinner shape.

'I thought I looked good and it was great to be able to walk out looking a million dollars,' she says.

'When you've been the victim of people saying completely the opposite and suddenly get all this positive attention, you want more of it, but I wasn't happy, I really wasn't.'

In a desperate bid to warn fans about the pressure to stay thin, the singer - who's now a healthy size 10� - makes the tearful confession in new TV series Lily Allen: From Riches To Rags.
