James Corden has reportedly responded to Lily Allen‘s recent comments about him being a “beg friend”.
Last month, The ‘Smile’ singer responded to a question on a recent episode of her BBC podcast Miss Me?, which she hosts alongside the TV presenter Miquita Oliver in which a fan asked whether either of them had any “surprise beg friends” who were “actually famous”.
A beg friend is defined as someone who begs for attention in the needy hope of forming a friendship, even if the recipient has no interest in it.
“Yeah James Corden was a bit of a beg friend for me,” Allen replied at the time. “[He] came on my chat show and was very flirtatious with me, and we sort of made friends and I introduced him to a group of my friends.”
“I’d say if I’ve ever had a famous beggy friend it was James Corden, back in the day,” she continued. “He’s not begging me anymore. I’m not begging him either… I can’t do anything for him now. He’s good.”
Now according to the Daily Mail, sources close to Corden claim he wasn’t happy about her comments.
The source added: “He thought for Lily to bring up their past was tacky and that she was a bit of a twat to have said anything at all.
“He believes he has never been desperate and deserves better and is pretty much over people talking about him in a negative way.”
They went on: “So, when Lily recently talked shit about him, to James it was just another day in his life, just another hater.”
James Corden is yet to officially respond to Allen’s comments.
Meanwhile, Gavin & Stacey is set to return this year for its last-ever episode, it has been confirmed. The much-loved sitcom will conclude on Christmas Day 2024 on BBC One and iPlayer, following reports that another special was in the works in February.
Gavin & Stacey ran for three seasons between 2007 and 2010, and returned for a Christmas special in 2019. The latest episode ended on a cliffhanger; Nessa (Jones) proposed to Smithy (Corden), with the scene concluding before he could give an answer.
