Lily Allen blasts cricket fixing reports

Lily Allen has said that she is "heartbroken" by allegations of fixing in high-profile cricket Test matches.

This weekend, the News of the World ran an expose accusing two members of the Pakistan international cricket team of rigging matches for a betting syndicate.

It was claimed that the pair agreed to deliberately throw "no-balls" at set stages of the game during matches against England.

Allen, who has spoken of her love for the sport in the past, posted a series of messages on Twitter expressing her dismay at the allegations.

The 25-year-old wrote: "I am heartbroken. If these allegations are true this is terribly disappointing... It's the kids I feel sorry for."
