ok.co.uk:

Singer and actress Lily Allen has once again addressed her history with TV host James Corden in a savage two-word put down.The 39-year-old Alright, Still singer described the Gavin and Stacey actor as a "beg friend", which refers to someone who begs for attention in an effort to become friends.

Speaking on the Miss Me? podcast she hosts with her BFF Miquita Oliver, Lily said she met James on her chat show - Lily Allen and Friends - back in 2008 and he was "very flirtatious" with her. "Yeah, James Corden was a bit of a beg friend for me," she shared. "James Corden came on my chat show and was like very flirtatious with me and we sort of made friends and I introduced him to a group of my friends." She said she didn't remember all the details as that period of time "was a bit hazy" for her.

James appeared on Lily's BBC Three show to plug the latest series of Gavin and Stacey, which is returning for a special episode at Christmas, back in 2008 and the pair sparked romance rumours after exchanging some flirty banter.

However Lily later said on Twitter (now X) that "he came on to me in front a studio audience", continuing, "if I'd have shut him down, I would have been labelled cold or up myself or snobbish".
