Lily Allen's Embarrassing Lipo Scars: The Hip Replacement Lie

Lily Allen once lied to a former hook-up that she'd had a hip replacement, because she didn't want to admit to having had liposuction

Lily Allen's Secret Shame: Singer Reveals She Lied About Her Surgical Scars to a Rapper

The drama! The tea! The secrets revealed! In a jaw-dropping confession, Lily Allen has spilled the beans about her past liposuction surgery, and it's got everyone talking. The 40-year-old singer, known for her outspoken personality and unapologetic attitude, dropped a bombshell on her podcast with best friend Miquita Oliver that left listeners in stitches.

It all started when Nick Grimshaw asked Lily to recall a rather embarrassing story from her past. And boy, did she deliver! The singer revealed that she had lied about having a hip replacement surgery to a rapper she was seeing at the time because she was too embarrassed to admit to having liposuction on her bum and thighs.

The singer, 40, underwent the cosmetic procedure to remove fat from her bottom and thighs in her early 20s, leaving her with some surgical scars (pictured in 2009)

The Scandalous Story

According to Lily, the incident took place in a hotel room when the rapper commented on her surgical scars. Not wanting to reveal the truth, she panicked and came up with a quick fix: "I said I had a hip replacement," she revealed on the podcast, trying to hold back laughter. "Somehow thinking that was sexier than lipo!"

The best part? Her friends Nick Grimshaw and Angela Hartnett couldn't help but burst into laughter at the absurdity of it all. Miquita even chimed in with a cheeky remark: "I think she was like 24 at the time. Now every time said rapper sees Lily do something very physical, he thinks, 'She's so incredible, so inspirational!'"

However, she was once 'too embarrassed' to fess up to having the surgery during sex with a rapper, that she resorted to pretending her scars were from a hip operation

But the real kicker is that this confession comes just weeks after Lily announced her departure from her own podcast, Miss Me?, citing a need for "quiet reflection time" and to focus on new music projects. But it seems she's already found a way to shake off the embarrassment of that liposuction incident – by laughing about it!

A Year of Challenges

Lily Allen has had quite the rollercoaster year, what with her split from husband David Harbour (she relocated to New York for him) and now, a fresh start in London. It's been reported that their marriage was over due to infidelity on his part. But Lily is taking it all in stride, using the opportunity to focus on herself and her music.

In fact, she's been hard at work with Grammy-winning producer Greg Kurstin, putting the finishing touches on her upcoming album. And we can't wait! With this new chapter unfolding, Lily seems to be embracing change and shedding any lingering doubts about her past decisions.

A New Chapter Unfolds

As for her podcast departure, it's clear that Lily needs some time to recharge and refocus on her personal life. But don't worry, she hasn't closed the door on Miss Me? entirely – just taken a break while she explores new projects. And let's be honest, we're all excited to see what's next for this talented singer-songwriter.

It comes just weeks after Lily announced she's stepping away from her own podcast, which she hosts with Miquita, to focus on new music following a challenging year
