Lily Allen suffers from "body dysmorphia".

The 'Not Fair' singer - whose weight has fluctuated over the years - always thinks she she's fat when she looks in the mirror and compares herself to overweight 'Pop Idol' winner Michelle McManus, who once tipped the scales at 322lbs.

Lily said: "Ask me, What do you see when you look in the mirror in the morning?' and I'll be like, 'Someone who is more overweight than I actually am.'

Compare me to Kate Moss and all of those supermodels and, yes, I probably am on the podgy side. But in reality I'm fine.

"It's body dysmorphia. I honestly think I look like Michelle McManus or something."

Lily also hit out at the fashion world saying they promote unhealthy lifestyles in a bid for everyone to be slim.

She told LOVE magazine: "The reason the fashion world has embraced me is because I lost a stone-and-a-half last year. They probably wouldn't have when I was heavier.

"I've been on shoots where it's been 'Lunchtime! OK, Lily, do you want a cigarette?' instead of eating lunch. Don't make me feel guilty about the way I look.

"Compare me to Kate Moss and all of those supermodels and, yes, I probably am on the podgy side. But in reality I'm fine."
