We were beginning to think she’d dropped off the Twitter edge of the earth. But Lily Allen has returned to the social networking site after a five month break, to let her fans know she needs to lose weight.

Is she mad? After being too skinny in the past, we’ve been admiring the new curves Lily has developed and think she looks fabulous.

In a collection of posts, Lily twittered:

“‘hello, I’m back…. Just got back from aus, and I had a wonderful time.”

“For now though, I’m off to the gym. Went to India over xmas,and the clarified butter has made its way from my tummy to my thighs. eeuuggh.”

Seems Lily has got into the healthy frame of mind already, as she was spotted yesterday meeting friends outside a sushi restaurant in London (and everyone knows sushi is practically zero calories).

Whilst it’s great to live a healthy lifestyle (and perhaps not to OD on the clarified butter) we hope that Lily keeps her curves. Join us in McDonald’s for lunch will you Lily?
