Lily said the woman had grabbed her arm and said: 'If you think I'm leaving you alone with my f***ing boyfriend you've got another thing coming', leaving her shaken and determined to 'get her back one day'(pictured last week)

She detailed: 'This was when I was managed by Elton John's company and I'd been sent to his house in the south of France to like dry out for a couple of weeks.

'And while I was there I got a phone call from somebody very famous at the time asking me if I could perform at a charity event that they were involved in - she was asking me to sing a song with her boyfriend, who was a musician.

'I said "I'd love to but it's next week and I haven't got any time to rehearse because I'm in the south of France". She was like "Don't worry, we'll come out there and we'll rehearse with you".'

However, she explained things did not go smoothly with the star getting 'the right hump' beforeaccusing Lily of plotting to woo her partner when she suggested they rehearsed together alone.

She said: 'They come to the south of France, they arrive, and it's like late afternoon and she's like "I think you guys should sing The Sound of Silence".

'And I was like, "Ooh, I don't know about that, I really don't want to - that's out of my comfort zone". And she got the right hump.

'I was like "I think maybe we would be better suited to doing something like Something Stupid".

'I said, "Look, I'll go downstairs with your boyfriend and we'll practice the song and then we'll come up and then we'll sing it for you and see how you feel about it".

'And she grabbed my arm and she said, "If you think I'm leaving you alone with my f***ing boyfriend you've got another thing coming".'

Lily said she was left shaken by the incident, but decided to channel her feelings into revenge.

She said: 'I was on my own in this house and it was the two of them and just me, and she was quite a lot older than me, and a lot more famous and more successful, and I just thought "I'm stranded and you've got me snookered".'

'And I was like, "I'm banking this feeling and I will remember it, and I will get you back one day".

'Her boyfriend was not someone I found remotely attractive and she was incredibly beautiful - still is - and so should not have found me remotely a threat. I was definitely in my like puffy strung out phase.'

To add insult to injury, following the charity event Lily said the star 'never said thank you for my involvement.'

A few weeks later she was approached by an awards ceremony to be honoured with a prestigious award.

Lily recalled: 'And then they said, "Is there anybody that you would like to present you with the said award?" I was like "At what point in the proceedings does this award get awarded?" And they were like it's the penultimate award.

Despite the previous bad blood however, Lily insisted that she has since forgiven the unknown celebrity and addressed her publicly to apologise for being 'particularly petty' (pictured last week)

'I was like, "There is no way this person will be able to hold themselves together for that long and if I can stay sober then she'll have to present me with the award when I'm looking pristine and brilliant and she looks completely f***ed".'

She added that her devious plan was a success, saying: 'And it f***ing worked. Front cover of the papers the next day were like "So and so was a complete mess", and then pictures of me with my award.'

Despite the previous bad blood however, Lily insisted that she has since forgiven the unknown celebrity and addressed her publicly to apologise for being 'particularly petty'.

She said: 'That person I actually really like them now. It was just a particularly bad phase that both of us were going through at the time.

'All is forgiven on my part anyway. But she's probably just finding out. So if you are listening and you recognise yourself in this story, I'm sorry. It was particularly petty.'
