Lily Allen recalls the time when she lost her virginity
Lily Allen claimed James Corden was a "beg friend" and claimed she "definitely wasn't" ever trying to give him the wrong impression of their romantic status.
The Smile singer said she met the BBC show Gavin and Stacey actor on her chat show in 2008, where he was "very flirtatious" with her.
The 39-year-old said they hung out for a "hazy" short period of time afterwards, but James misread the signs and wrote in his book that she led him on.
On her podcast, Miss Me?, Lily said: "Yeah, James Corden was a bit of a beg friend for me.
"James Corden came on my chat show and was very flirtatious with me. We sort of made friends, and I introduced him to a group of my friends.
The mother of two continued: "I believe that he wrote about it in his book that, you know, that I was like leading him on or something - which I wasn't.
"I think in his mind, it went on a bit longer. But yeah, I'd say if I ever had a famous beggy friend, it was James Corden back in the day.'
James, now 45, has recently moved back to the UK after presenting The Late Late Show in America for several years.

A "beg friend" is described as a person who 'begs' for your attention in the hope of forming a friendship. In 2008, the Sheezus singer hosted the BBC chat show, Lily Allen and Friends.
James appeared on the show to promote the new series of Gavin and Stacey. Lily added: "He's not begging me anymore. I'm not begging him either. I can't do anything for him now, he's good."
James wrote in his memoir in 2011 of Lily: "She's confident, funny and intelligent. I guess I went out with Lily four or five times in total – and not once was it a proper date.
"It always seemed to involve other people and not just the two of us."
