Lily Allen moans she’ll be homeless this Christmas after tenants refuse to leave her flat
LILY Allen has been hit with a barrage of criticism after the multi-millionaire pop star moaned she is unable to move back into her London flat because her tenants are claiming “diplomatic immunity”.
In a tweet which she has since deleted, Ms Allen wrote: “Meant to be moving back into my flat this week, but my tenants just dropped that they can't find anywhere to go up to their standards.
“Then they said they're diplomats and have diplomatic immunity and there's nothing I can do about it.
“So, who fancies a family of 3 for Xmas?”
The singer has faced a Twitter backlash and been accused of “profiteering” by renting out the property to wealthy tenants, rather than offering it to refugees.
One user wrote: "Bit of a crazy request, but has anyone got Bob Geldof's number? I think we need to organise a concert to buy @lilyallen a 4 million pound property for Christmas. She's homeless and in need. Who's with me?"
Another added: “Just sing outside their front door, that'll get them shifted in under an hour.”
Eleanor Black said: “Welcome to the real world one major difference you’ve plenty of money go buy another house!”
Another follower posted a picture of the Smile singer visiting the Calais jungle with the hashtag "Pray for Lily”.
The 32-year-old later tweeted and deleted again, this time saying that "private equity managers, tax experts and hedge funders been looking" at the situation.
Despite the critical comments, there were a handful of fans who offered Ms Allen a place to stay for Christmas.
One wrote: "You can come to us, Lily. We're having goose & something bizarre & veggie for the lad."
Another wrote: "You can come to ours in Spain if you like?"
A third chimed in: "I'll be spending Christmas on my own due to work. More than welcome here if you're not allergic to cats & not a noisy eater."
Ms Allen was widely criticised after she apologised to migrants in the Calais jungle on Britain’s behalf last year.
She insisted she would “100 per cent” take in a refugee herself as she broke down in tears after speaking to a 13-year-old Afghan boy who was desperate to reach the UK.
