Is Lily Allen making a dig at Millie Mackintosh?

Lily Allen posted a controversial tweet this morning, stating 'Thin people who incessantly feel the need to post pictures of themselves 'working out' you are smug, not inspirational. Stop it. #living ugh'. Allen's gained a lot of attention with it currently being retweeted by 1,766 Twitter users, one which included The Saturday's Rochelle Humes.

It appears that Lily is talking about the recent trend of bikini and gym selfies in which people take pictures of their bodies, honed by the gym for all to see. Whilst she could be referring to any number of celebrities that do this such as TOWIE's Lucy Mecklenburgh or MIC's Lucy Watson. It cannot be a coincidence that Millie Mackintosh posted a bikini selfie, showing off the results of her gym workout around 20 hours before Lily posted this tweet. Millie posted this particular Instagram photo with the caption 'Hard work in the gym finally paying off! #nopainnogain', which she also posted to her Twitter page.

Lily's tweet mentions people who post pictures of themselves 'working out' and Millie's picture makes a reference to the 'gym' and the fact that she got that body through working out. Furthermore Millie has posted numerous other pictures of herself working out with her personal trainer before, so it seems likely that Lily is making a dig at her in particular.

    I hadn't heard about this until I read your blog, but I do agree with Lily, it is a bit annoying. We get it that you've worked hard and have got a great bod to show, but it's not necessary to post it all over social media every 5 mins!

    Love your blog, great for gossip. Thanks for leaving me a link on Twitter!

    Yeah I think there is a difference between celebrities that flaunt themselves and those that post pictures of workouts for their followers to copy. Like Lucy Mecklenburgh takes pictures of her workouts so that she can instruct people on how to do them, for her fitness website.

    Thanks! I love your blog too, there is so much great content on it.
