Allen Can't Stop Smoking

The fun-loving Brit admits the bad habit made her feel physically sick after she fell pregnant with boyfriend Ed Simons' baby in 2007 - but she simply couldn't put cigarettes down after she suffered a miscarriage. And now she thinks she'll be puffing forever.

The Smile singer tells i-D magazine, "I can't stop. I never could... When I was pregnant I gave up, and I've been hypnotised a few times."

But she knows how her non-smoking friends feel when she's around them - because the idea of picking up a cigarette made her feel nauseous when she was pregnant.

She adds, "Even the smell of smoke on other people made me feel so sick and ill... Ed smoked and I couldn't even go near him because he stank of smoke."
