Lily Allen has handed out her advice to Glastonbury festivalgoers about how to cope with the post-partying ‘comedown’.
The singer-turned-actress, 38, is no stranger to the buzz of the hotly-anticipated festival as she has both attended and performed there many times over the years.
Last year, she joined Olivia Rodrigo on stage as a surprise guest to perform her hit F**k You, and previously performed at the festival in 2007 and 2009.
Though Lily was absent from Glastonbury this year amid her leading West End role in The Pillowman, she still made sure to give out some advice to any festivalgoers.
Taking to Twitter, Lily warned that it could take up to a month to recover from the hotly-anticipated music festival and shared her top tips for a speedy recuperation.

Lily, who has been sober for four years, wrote: ‘Thoughts are with those starting their post Glastonbury comedowns today, YOU WILL GET THROUGH THIS.
‘It will take somewhere between a week and month depending on your age and what exactly you may have consumed, but you will get through this.’
‘Start with a good fry up, some electrolytes, berocca, plenty of water and stay away from anything like Greys Anatomy or The Notebook,’ she added in a second tweet.
Glastonbury came to an epic close on Sunday evening with a headlining set from Elton John in what was the star’s final ever UK show.
Other stars to grace the stage at the much-anticipated annual music festival were the likes of the Arctic Monkeys, Lana Del Rey, The Foo Fighters and Lizzo.
But Lily was absent from the festival this year as she has been busy taking to the stage in the West End run of The Pillowman.
She previously made her West End debut in 2:22 A Ghost Story and has now returned to the stage in Martin McDonagh’s play The Pillowman.

Lily is the first woman to take on the leading role of Katurian in the revival of the 2003 play, which follows the fiction writer as she is imprisoned by a totalitarian state.
Starring opposite Steve Pemberton, who plays Tupolski and Matthew Tennyson, who stars as Michael, Lily plays the role that had been previously played by David Tennant twenty years ago.
Speaking about the decision to cast a woman in the role, Lily told The Telegraph: ‘I think it will add an extra layer of horror, because we’re not used to seeing women being beaten up.
‘It will be shocking, in that sense. I also feel that men don’t necessarily get the same c**p for their artistic output that women do.’
The Pillowman follows Katurian as she is brutally questioned by authorities after a spate of murders bear similarities to her short stories.

It has received mixed reviews, with one critic from The Telegraph awarding it three stars, writing that they were ‘mildly bored’.
The Times gave it two stars, yet Nick Curtis from The Evening Standard granted it four stars, writing: ‘Allen, who made an impressive stage-acting debut in Dunster’s ongoing 2:22 A Ghost Story, is compulsively watchable: drawn, intense, angular.
‘But this show requires a juggling of emotional states she can’t quite muster.’
The black comedy – which will run until September 2 – ‘examines the role of the artist in society and asks what price do we pay for freedom of expression’, according to a synopsis on the play’s website.
