Lily Allen cried the last time she took public transport. The "Fear" singer - who performed an intimate concert this week where she demanded fans wore underground station-themed fancy dress - is still "haunted" by the experience, which saw her recognized by fans.

She said: "Last time I went on the underground was New Year's Eve a year or two ago. I'm a bit haunted by it now because I was trying to get into the center of town to see my boyfriend and I was on my own."

"People started shouting and singing 'Smile' at me and I was in tears, 'Just leave me alone'. And people were like, 'What the f**k are you doing on the Tube?'"

"I thought, 'You know what, I'm not going to get on the Tube for a while.'"

The outspoken 24-year-old star - who has engaged in a war-of-words with several stars, including Girls Aloud singer Cheryl Cole - also said she has no desire to write a book about her experiences.

She added to Britain's The Times newspaper: "I wouldn't. I think the nature of these books is, you know, you're f**king people over, and I haven't really got any interest in making money out of other people's misfortune."
