Lily's Health Scare
POP st
ar LILY ALLEN has revealed the REAL reason for her new fitness regime — she has a heart murmur.
Pals became worried for the 22-year-old singer when she shed nearly 1½stone and dropped from Size 12 to 8 in just six weeks.
But the Smile artist says the weight fell off when she scrambled to the gym after a medic discovered the murmur.
Lily said: “I found out about three months ago. I have been asthmatic all my life but this was really quite scary.
“When they asked me how much exercise I did, I had to be honest and say hardly any.
“Now I make sure I work out three times a week. And I don’t hold back — it’s a hardcore routine in the gym.”
A murmur — a soft rushing sound heard with a stethoscope — is often harmless. But it can also indicate a hole in the heart or a valve problem.
Keeping fit tones heart muscles and helps the organ to cope with the condition. Lily said: “I used to love nothing more than sitting in front of the telly with two packets of Ginger Nuts and two bags of milk bottle sweets. I’d devour the lot.
“But this heart thing has made me cut back on that kind of c**p.”
She told a magazine: “I haven’t done this because I want to be some skinny minnie.
“I just like being more toned. It has made me really happy. I should give up smoking but haven’t quite managed that yet.”

Cowell to Take Over the World
SIMON COWELL is putting together the biggest TV show in history — The
World’s Got Talent.
To be broadcast next autumn, with ANT & DEC at the helm, it will put 25 talent show winners from around the globe in a head-to-head battle so one can be crowned the most talented person on the planet.
Mr Nasty reckons the show could land an audience of more than 200million — with the winner walking away with a million dollar purse.
Last night the pop mogul told me: “We have been thinking about doing this for a long time.
“The planet has been crying out for a world talent competition.”
Simon and lardy toff judge PIERS MORGAN will be on a panel of five offering their thoughts on the weird and the wacky brought to London for the telly spectacle.
The fat tum of the opera, PAUL POTTS, will compete for the UK in the champion of champions show.
Is there anyone who can compete with the former mobile phone salesman’s talent?
Mmmmm . . .
