Allen rips off Take That chorus

Lily Allen has had to scrap one of the tracks from her forthcoming second album because she stole the chorus from a popular song by boy band Take That.

The 23-year-old singer posted a brand new track, Who'd Of Known, on her official MySpace page on Sunday.

She has admitted that the refrain has been copied from the Take That 2007 hit single Shine, which has been one of the band's most popular songs since their revival.

However Lily said that fans should not expect to see the tune on her eagerly anticipated new album Stuck on the Naughty Step because she says it would take too much effort to obtain official clearance for the track.

She wrote: "I have put up a song that won't make it on the album. I ripped off the chorus from Take That and I can't be bothered with the paperwork."
