Lily Allen says she got rid of her family dog after it ate their passports

Fans slammed the singer

The Smile singer opened up on her Miss Me? Podcast about how the pet turned her family’s lives upside down after it ate their passports.

Her children Ethel, 12 and Marnie, 11, also fell victim to the pup’s bad behaviour and could not return to London to visit their dad for four-five months.

Speaking with her best friend Miquita Oliver Lily explained: “We actually did adopt a dog already, but then it ate my passport and so I took her back to the home.

“She ate all three of our passports and they had our visas in. And I cannot tell you how much money it cost me to get everything replaced, because it was Covid so it was just an absolute logistical nightmare.”

Allen, who lives in New York with her two children continued to explain: “Because the father of my children lives in England, I couldn’t take them back to see their dad for like four months, five months because this f***ing dog had eaten the passports.

“And I just couldn't look at her. I was like 'You've ruined my life.”

However, people took to social media platform X to slam the singer with one fan accusing her of using the dog ‘for likes’ before saying: “Hopefully this pup found someone who deserves her.”

Another commented: “Unless the dog has actively seeked them out and then told @lilyallen that they were going to purposely destroy them, then this is outrageous. Try taking responsibility for your own belongings. Newsflash - Dogs eat stuff.”

On the podcast Allen also shared why she still has her ex-husband’s name on her passport despite divorcing him four years ago.

“I still have my ex-husband's name because I've got two children with the man, and it's hard to travel with children if you haven't got the same surname."
