Lily Allen has revealed that her new video for latest single 'Our Time' has been banned by MTV - and has taken to Twitter to slam their decision. 

The singer, who is preparing for the release of her third album Sheezus, posted a screenshot on Twitter of an email telling her MTV want to ban the video in the daytime unless they cut out scenes they deem to be PG, including clips of her drinking from a flask and fighting with another version of herself dressed as a hotdog (obviously).

 

The 'Our Time' video, which sees Allen playing multiple versions of herself on a night out, will not, however, be getting a clean edit according to the anonymous sender of the email. "Age of beige," Allen captioned the screenshot. "I thought MTV just played Catfish and Super Sweet 16," the singer added.

The campaign leading up to Allen's comeback album Sheezus hasn't exactly gone to plan. First, critics slammed her video for 'Hard Out Here' as racist, whilst many were left unimpressed by second single 'Air Balloon'.

The comments have forced Lily to apologise, with the singer this week agreeing with a fan that her new singles are "rubbish". "The labels and the radio stations won't play the better stuff," she added.
