Singer Lily Allen says it would be hypocritical of her to stop her daughter's from taking drugs when they're older.

The 29-year-old 'Hard Out Here' singer, who has admitted to a wild past including cocaine abuse, has insisted she isn't in a position to tell Ethel, two, and Marnie, one, about the dangers, reported BBC online.

"I can't really do anything but be there for them. People are going to do what they want to do, quite rightly. They'll say, 'You're a hypocrite. You went an experiment and you said it was a right laugh so what do you mean I can't?'" she said.
 

"But I've seen so much of it growing up and I've seen people really lose the plot and die."

Meanwhile, Allen has praised her husband Sam Cooper for helping her overcome her personal problems by 'showing up at the right moment'.
