Allen lights up Paris

Pop star Lily Allen lit up Paris on Friday night - flouting French laws by smoking on stage. Skip related content

The Smile singer played at the city's Le Zenith venue but refused to comply with the country's anti-tobacco rules by chain-smoking her way through the set.

French politicians outlawed smoking in public places, including bar, cafes and concert venues in 2008 and Allen's slip could leave her facing a fine of up to £411, while bosses at the venue could be made to pay out up to £685.

Allen has previously professed her love for cigarettes, admitting she doesn't want to kick the habit any time soon: "I love smoking. I don't really want to say it... but I do."
