Lily Allen allegedly attempted suicide when she was aged 18, according to her half-sister Sarah Owen.
Owen revealed the shock news to Grazia magazine, when she said: "Aged 18, she tried to slit her wrists when her first relationship ended and she ended up in The Priory rehab clinic for four weeks."
Elsewhere in the interview, the 29-year-old admitted she wasn't close to Allen during their upbringing. The pair share the same mother.
"I had a big gang of friends but Lily was more of a loner," Sarah continued. "She had no one to talk to about getting her first period or breaking up with her first boyfriend. Would it have been different if we'd been closer? Probably."
"My relationship with Lily back then was strained - I was a crazy teenager, and that must have affected Lily."
"As you know, she's naturally outspoken but, because I was I was the loud one at home, she became disruptive at school - and ended up being at about 13 different ones."
