Lily Allen<\/a> has revealed she’s ‘not in a great place mentally,’ and isn’t eating at the moment<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On her podcast<\/a> Miss Me? with her best friend Miquita Oliver, Lily, 39, opened up about her ‘tough’ time over the last few months in an episode about therapy.<\/p>\n

Saying she is in therapy at the moment, Lily explained: ‘I’ve been going through a tough time over the last few months and my eating has become a real issue<\/a>.<\/p>\n

‘My therapist and I talk about it and she says, “How long has this been going on?” And I said, “Well, about three years really.” And she’s like, “OK, why haven’t you mentioned it before?”<\/p>\n

‘And it’s not because I’m lying about it. It’s just because it hasn’t seemed at the top of the list of important things that I need to talk about, but obviously it is.’<\/p>\n

Lily added: ‘I’m not really very good at talking about the bigger picture. I wonder if that’s something to do with my ADHD<\/a> as well, that I don’t link a lot of things.<\/p>\n

For Lily, her body and brain are ‘two very separate things’ she said, adding: ‘I know a lot of people feel those two things are very connected to each other, but for me it’s very different. <\/p>\n

‘I spend a lot of time in my head, and not a lot of time thinking about my body,’ she explained. <\/p>\n

‘I’m really not in a great place mentally at the moment, and I’m not eating. But I’m not hungry. I obviously am hungry, but my body and brain are so disconnected from each other that my body… the messages of hunger are not going from my body to my brain. <\/p>\n

‘I’m not avoiding food, I’m just not thinking about it because I’m so in my head. My body’s, like, a few steps behind me.’<\/p>\n

The Smile hitmaker lives in New York<\/a> with husband David Harbour<\/a>, 49, and children Ethel Mary, 13, and Marnie Rose, 11.<\/p>\n

Lily recently explained, also on her podcast, how joining Only Fans to sell pictures of her feet <\/a>is an ’empowering’ side hustle for her – and actually makes her more money than the music industry, despite her fame and success. <\/p>\n

\u2018I\u2019m finding this actually quite empowering. Having been very sexualized from a very early age, and literally everybody else in the process profiting from that sexualization, it\u2019s actually really fun to be like, in power and in control of something that I find so silly,\u2019 she revealed.<\/p>\n

However, she has drawn a hard line at feet, refusing to do anything more extreme than \u2018toe-spreading.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018Believe me, these guys are all up in my DMs telling me they want bespoke content and asking me for all kinds of crazy stuff and I take such pleasure in just saying, only feet, don\u2019t even go there \u2013 this is a foot only page,\u2019 she said.<\/p>\n

When fans hit out at her decision on social media, Lily advised them not to ‘hate the player, but hate the game’. <\/p>\n

\u2018Imagine being one of the biggest pop stars\/musicians in Europe and then being reduced to this,\u2019 said X user New_Dimez in response to a series of snaps from her page.<\/p>\n

Lily hit back: \u2018Imagine being an artist and having nearly 8 million monthly listeners on spotify but earning more money from having 1000 people subscribe to pictures of your feet.’ <\/p>\n
