Lily Allen has said she feels “embarrassed” by a new TV documentary which follows the launch of her clothing store, Lucy In Disguise.

The Channel 4 programme, Riches To Rags, begins next week, but exerts have already been published, including one where Allen discusses her second miscarriage last November and eating disorder.

In a series of messages on Twitter, Allen said she felt the advance coverage of the show had been “totally sensationalised and quotes taken out of context”.

“We started filming it a year ago and I feel like a completely different person that the one that features in the programme,” she wrote.

“I'm inclined to ask you not to watch it cause quite frankly I am embarrassed.”

She added: “I should probably know better than to write this here but I feel its the only place that my words don't get minced. That is all.”
