Corset hurts as Lily gets axed

Singer Lily Allen has been axed as the face and figure of sexy lingerie firm Agent Provocateur.

Lily, 22 — snapped in a corset and stockings with a whip — is said to be “gutted”.

The star, who recently had a miscarriage, had gone through tough gym sessions to take over from Kate Moss in a new ad campaign.

A source said: “She’s really proud of her new figure.”

Lily was ditched in a row between the £60million firm’s bosses Joe Corré, 40, and Serena Rees, 39, who are divorcing.

Serena picked Lily but creative boss Joe — son of designer Vivienne Westwood— vetoed the move.

The source said: “Serena loves Lily and thinks she’s young and sassy.

“But Joe wasn’t keen and canned all the pictures.”

It’s another blow for Lily who recently split from lover Ed Simons and got disappointing ratings for her BBC3 show.

Agent Provocateur said the photos may still be used in a magazine editorial, adding: “We haven’t made any decisions.”

But a pal said: “Lily was told she’d be the face of a new campaign. This feels like a big demotion.”
