Lily Allen has revealed that she is taking a break from social media - and the withdrawal symptoms are real.

Speaking on the Miss Me? podcast, The Smile hitmaker shared, "I'm nearly two weeks into a complete social media ban.

"The beginning of last week, I was feeling incredibly low, like lower than I've felt in months. It was extremely heavy.

"And then I realised maybe this is because I'm not filling the gaps with doom scrolling and I've suddenly got this time for like reflection, you know what I mean?"

She continued: "I don't have that much to do here in New York during the day, and so I guess I would find myself sitting on Instagram and scrolling or being narcissistic and posting or reading my responses and getting that dopamine fix.

"And I haven't had it for nearly two weeks, and I think it made me initially really sad.

"I think I was having withdrawal symptoms. It was horrible, I mean, I really did feel like I was withdrawing from drugs or something, it was crazy."

Allen's self-imposed social media ban comes after she split from Stranger Things actor David Harbour late last year after four years of marriage.
