Pop singer Lily Allen has revealed that she thought she was "paralysed" after a recent fall.

The singer told Absolute Radio that she fell off a stage while in a DJ booth with musicians Skream & Benga.

Allen said: "I didn't really want to like steal their limelight and stuff, so I was sort of crouching behind the decks, and I sort of fell off the back of their stage, about three feet onto my coccyx."

"It really was the most painful thing ever. It was really horrible, because I had one of my security guys with me, and he said he turned around and just saw these two feet sticking out of the floor, in the air."

"You know when you fall over your kind of natural reaction is to get straight back up again?"

"But I was in so much pain I thought I was paralysed or something. I mean, I really thought that I was going to have to have my legs cut off," she said.
