The singer said she felt underwhelmed collecting the prize for Best Female Solo Artist at the ceremony in February.

"I got a Brit Award recently,” Allen told New magazine.

“And that was something four years ago that I would have died for. But when I finally got that award it meant absolutely nothing to me.

"Because I now know that the Brit Awards is a TV show. Record company executives make deals with a TV channel and the producers about who wins what award in exchange for performance time.

“So it's just become a non-award, like 'Thank you for this'."

Meanwhile, Lily Allen is set to star in her own reality TV, which will follow her as she launches a new clothing range.

The singer, who is taking a break from music, is launching Lucy in Disguise with her half-sister Sarah Owen.
