Allen to share shop experience on TV documentary

Lily Allen is making a TV show about her career change from singer to shop owner.

The ‘Not Fair’ singer will share her experience of opening up clothes-hire store Lucy in Disguise and the launch of her record label in a new reality TV show.

A source told The Sun newspaper: “Lily was approached about a TV show and thought it would help promote her new ventures as well as letting people get to know her a bit better.”

Lily’s last foray into TV, with BBC3 chat show ‘Lily and Friends’, was unsuccessful after it received bad reviews and low viewing figures, and was axed after its first series.

Discussing her semi-retirement from the music industry recently, Lily, 24, claimed she is ready for a career change and to stop touring.

She said: “People don't buy music anymore, they download it and want their content for free - the thing that makes you your money is touring and I don't really want to tie myself down to being on the road for three years. I've got a boyfriend and I've got a house and I'd quite like to have children soon. So it doesn't really work into those plans.

"It's not retiring. I'm just doing a different job for a bit. I'm having a career change. I just want to stay in London for a while. It's not a particularly healthy lifestyle being on the road."
