Lily Allen is glad she’s found herself a man — because she cries if she is left alone.

The 24-year-old singer admits she finds it hard to cope without her loved ones.

“I don’t like being on my own very much,” said Lily, who miscarried the baby she was expecting with her ex-partner Chemical Brother’s Ed Simons last year. “Just after I had the miscarriage I went into this therapy center.

“The hardest exercise they gave me was to sit on my bed for an hour without a book or a TV or a magazine. I was in tears the whole time. I just couldn’t handle it. It was awful. I hated it.

“There was one exercise where they ask you to draw something. The art therapist said, ‘Anything — a color, a shape.’ I burst into tears. I felt like I was being judged and I knew I couldn’t manipulate the situation.

“I learned from it. I know I have to stop doing things for other people and think of myself.”

Lily recently revealed she’s planning to star in a West End play.

“I’m not going to record and tour again for quite a while,” she said. “I finish up my gig dates in March and I’ll be ready to do something else.

“I’ve been on the road for four years and I’ve given my voice a real run for its money.

“I’m struggling, so I’m going to try something new.”
