Lily Allen Applauded By PETA

Lily Allen has been applauded by animal rights group PETA for her stance on wearing fur clothing.

The singer has revealed she will only wear fake fur and warned off any potential attacks by protestors. "My coat isn't real fur, but it was bloody expensive. Cover me in paint and I WILL send you the bill." Allen wrote online.

Now a spokesman for PETA - Michael McGraw - says: "We were surprised to see Lily Allen wearing what appeared to be a fur coat because we know her to be a big animal lover. So we were thrilled when she confirmed on Twitter that it was indeed faux."

"Perhaps she's following in the footsteps of Victoria Beckham - a supporter of PETA's anti-fur campaign - who routinely has designers remake their furs in high-end faux for her."
