Lily Allen has hit back at Perez Hilton after the celebrity blogger accused of her being lazy.

On a recent blog, Hilton, whose real name is Mario Lavandeira, said Allen should get her “partying in check” before promoting her new album, which is released in February.

He also questioned whether Allen was fit to be considered a role model.

In an interview with The Sun newspaper, Allen defended herself against the blogger, insisting that she was working hard.

“The other day Perez Hilton wrote that I was a lazy arse and I should give up on my record,” she said.

“Today, my single is number 1 in the midweeks and I am on tour, working really, really hard. And his job is sitting at a computer all day. How can he call me lazy?”

She added: “I am working so hard because this album is all I care about. I’m so happy with how it’s worked out and that’s why I took my time with it.

“At first I was a bit scared of what people might think. Because of how famous I have become, I feel very judged.”

Hilton and Allen, who regularly writes her own online blog, have had a notoriously fractious relationship.

Hilton's most recent criticism of the singer came after she called him a “woman hater”.

Allen's new album, 'It's Not Me, It's You', is released on February 9th.
