Instead, the 29-year-old singer has left it up to husband Sam Cooper to give them away to people living in her village.

Talking to Nick Grimshaw on BBC Radio 1, Lily insisted she wasn’t going to be giving the tickets to showbiz friends who ‘didn’t appreciate it’.

She said: “I get a certain allocation, and because I’m on the Pyramid [main] stage you get more.

“My husband has been in charge of ticket allocation. I have quite a lot of blaggy friends who hit me up for stuff all the time and never really appreciate it. I have all the calls, ‘Can we have some tickets?’

“He has given them to all our villagers. There’s, like, 25 kids from Canham who have never been to Glastonbury and who are going to have such a shock, and all my showbiz mates are like, ‘Er?’”

Mum-of-two Lily also revealed her love for the iconic music festival, and admitted she would rather be there than have Christmas.

She continued: “I go in hard. I was six-weeks-old the first time I went. I mean I would trade Christmas for Glastonbury. I didn’t go once. But yeah I’ve been every year, even when I was preggers.”

Meanwhile, Lily recently revealed she’d sent a copy of her latest album to Rihanna and claimed that the 26-year-old superstar ‘loved it’.

Lily told Paper magazine: “I sent Rihanna Sheezus a month ago. She loved it, thought it was hilarious. She said, ‘Maybe don’t send it to Gaga.”
