Lily Allen falls victim to her killer heels as she takes a tumble on stage
on 18th November 2009
Walking on stage in Manchester last night in a designer dress and killer heels, Lily Allen was hoping to make a good impression.
But her graceful entrance soon turned sour when she tripped on her 5in platforms, narrowly missing out on an impromptu crowd-surfing session at the Apollo.
The 24-year-old singer managed to stop herself from falling flat on her face just in time.

She then wisely decided to remove her heels and perform barefoot.
Her slip-up was the second time in the past week she's had a footwear malfunction after she fell down several stairs at the Children In Need gig last week.
As she hobbled on stage to perform with Take That, Lily moaned: 'My foot is not alright.'
After wearing skimpy underwear during festivals over the summer, Lily went for a more sophisticated look last night in a £685 tight-fitting red Preen power bandage dress.

The Preen dress has been a popular staple with celebrities this year, having been seen on Amanda Holden, Kirsty Gallacher, Gemma Arterton and WAG Louise Owen.
Despite her sleek ensemble, Lily's overall look was let down by her shocking two-tone blonde and brunette wig.
The Fear singer was performing to a sell-out crowd on the first of a two night stint at the Apollo.
After extensive festival appearances over the summer, Lily kicked off her 14 date UK tour in Sheffield on Monday.
