Lily Allen has opened up about her strained relationship with her father, admitting that they don't speak.
The Not Fair singer, 36, said that she hasn't spoken to her dad, actor Keith Allen, since she text him on Father's Day back in June.
She comes from a creative family, with Keith starring in dramas like Marcella and The Pembrokeshire Murders, while her mum Alison Owen is a producer and her brother Alfie is an actor who is most famous for playing Theon Greyjoy in Game of Thrones.
Lily has landed a role in in the play 2:22 – A Ghost Story, and she said that her mum has been supportive of her.
But when she was asked what Keith thought of her new gig, she admitted that they don't speak and haven't done for months.
Lily told The Telegraph : "I haven't really spoken to him, to be honest, for a while.
"The last time I texted him was on Father's Day and he texted back saying 'Thank you.'
"We haven't connected for a while."
In 2018, Lily said she fell out with her dad after she claimed he suffered a "cocaine-induced heart attack" at Glastonbury when she was 13.
When Keith read the excerpt in her autobiography My Thoughts Exactly, he denied it, claiming he instead suffered "acute food poisoning," Lily claimed.
She said he sent her an "angry text message" and they hadn't been in contact since.
During an appearance on The Jonathan Ross Show, Lily claimed: "I got quite a cross text from him [my dad] this weekend.
"There was a big piece [in the press] and he texted me.
"He texted me, 'Err cocaine induced heart attack at Glastonbury. Wow.' And I said, 'Sorry that's what I thought…'
"I said, 'I'm really sorry if I got that wrong but that's how I remembered it and you never explained it to me in any other way so that's what I wrote' and he said, 'Well that's not true.'
"And I said, 'I'm really, really sorry if I got that wrong, what was it?' And he said, 'Acute food poisoning.'"
It comes after Lily said earlier this year that her parents "resented her success".
Speaking on The Recovery podcast, Lily said her mum and dad "made a sacrifice of really being parents because they had important things to do in the world".
She added: "All I wanted was affirmation and praise and I didn't even get it then.
"I got it from strangers but not the people I wanted it from. In fact I was met by a bit of resentment from those people."
