Lily Allen Demands Million Pound Charity Donation For Piers Morgan Show

January 14, 2011

Lily Allen has said she won’t appear on Piers Moran’s Life Stories unless the ITV show makes a £1million charity donation.

The pair have been discussing Allen’s possible appearance on the show via Twitter.

The singer, who has been suffered two miscarriages, said she wanted her fee to be given to a charity that supports bereaved parents.

"I'd do it for a million for SANDS. money, mouth??????????????????,” Allen wrote.

Morgan then replied: “I will get ITV to make substantial five-figure donation to your charity for the interview.”

To which Allen wrote: "Those are my terms. I've got no interest in coming on your show, you've been asking me for years."

Allen’s latest miscarriage came last November when she was six months pregnant with now fiancée Sam Cooper’s child.

Life Stories sees Morgan speak candidly to celebrities about their private lives, and has previously featured Cheryl Cole and Sharon Osbourne.
