Lily Allen has admitted she wants to be buried with her phone so no one will see her internet porn search history.
The candid chart-topper – who is a mother of two – revealed that when she gets some alone time, she likes to hunt for adult videos.
But the 39-year-old doesn’t want anyone to be privy to the ‘dark’ content she has been looking at after she has gone.
Now married to Stranger Things star David Harbour, 49, Lily previously tied the knot with builder Sam Cooper, 46, with whom she has her daughters, Ethel, 11, and nine-year-old Marnie.
Speaking on the Where There’s a Will, There’s a Wake podcast with Kathy Burke, the LDN singer revealed that she was keen no one find her phone in the case of her death.
‘Probably my phone. My Google search history. My porn search history – Saturday night when the kids are at their dad’s and my husband’s not at home, that porn trajectory,’ she began.
‘It always starts quite… unassuming… maybe a bit of shoplifting, security guard – that kind of thing. And then it gets pretty dark. We’ll leave it at that because I really don’t want anyone to know!’ the star added, laughing, when she was asked what her preferences were.
When the host offered her the chance to be buried with her phone instead, she quickly agreed, quipping: ‘In fact, all of my Apple devices as well – my body’s not even in there, it’s just full of devices!’
She also said she is planning to leave ‘everything’ to her children when she dies, including a secret engagement ring that she had made to replace the one her first husband bought her when she decided his diamond wasn’t big enough.
‘I had an exact replica made of it with a bigger, central diamond, and I never told him. So I’d wear it and he’d catch it sparkling and go, “Didn’t I do well?”, and it was like, “No, I did!”
‘But I had two children with that man, thank you Sam, so when I die they’ve both got the ring that I had from their dad.’
Sorry, this video isn't available any more.
She also recently revealed that she had past beef with music icon Sir Elton John, only to realise years later that she’d actually made an awkward error.
Lily enjoyed a string of hits in the 2000s and 2010s, including debut single Smile – which reached number one – The Fear, Not Fair and her cover of Keane’s Somewhere Only We Know.
During that time, Sir Elton stepped in as her manager when she formed his company Rocket Music Entertainment Group in 2011, with Lily’s colleagues on its management roster including James Blunt and Dirty Vegas.
Discussing their relationship on her BBC Sounds podcast Miss Me? with longtime pal Miquita Oliver, she revealed: ‘He would call me once very couple of weeks to check in and say hi and make sure I was okay.
‘And there were some times in that period where I wasn’t okay.’
Describing how she eventually left his company, Lily continued: ‘We parted ways, and I wrote this long letter to say how sad I was about that situation and [that] there was a big Elton-shaped hole in my life.
‘Over the next few years, as my life began to sort of spiral out of control, I held much resentment for the fact that I’d made myself very vulnerable in this letter and told him all about my sobriety.’
She then admitted that she was ‘quite cross with him for a few years’ for not responding to her pouring her heart out.
‘I thought it was mean of him, actually,’ Lily added.
However, all was not quite as it seemed as the performer sheepishly confessed: ‘Then when I moved here to America, I was unpacking and I found the letter – I’d never sent it!’
Cracking herself up, the giggling star then appealed to her former mentor and Your Song hitmaker.
‘Um Elton, if you’re listening – which you’re probably not – I love you, and I no longer harbour that resentment towards you.’
Sharing the clip on her Instagram Stories, she also grovelled, making a reference to one of his most famous songs as she wrote in the clickable link: ‘Dear Elton – sorry seems to be the most appropriate word.’
Mum-of-two Lily, who was nominated for a prestigious Olivier Award for her stage debut in in 2:22 A Ghost Story in 2022, has also shared many other gems on her podcast.
This includes the extremely British way she once got through bad sex.
