Lily Allen has spoken about her historical feud with Cheryl Cole.

The pair traded blows back in 2007 after Cole called Allen, now named Lily Rose Cooper, a "chick with a dick".

The 'Fear' singer retorted in acerbic style, mocking Cole's apparent use of auto-tune and "sexy" stage routine.

Speaking to The Sun, Cooper said that whilst she doesn't regret anything she has said in the past, she feels it is probably wise to concentrate more on her family than involving herself in a tittle-tattle battle.

She added that she still receives grief from fans of Cheryl Cole due to her role in the feud. The singer said:

"When I first started out in my career, I made quite a lot of controversial statements. I don't regret anything I've ever said because it's all part of growing up and I believed it at the time. I might have said a certain pop group were a bad influence on girls but now I think it's probably more my responsibility to deal with my daughter rather than a band."

Cooper continued: "I said something about Cheryl Cole years ago and her fans are still giving me a hard time on Twitter. But as you get older, you gain more knowledge. So when I get abuse from Cheryl Cole fans now, I don't take it to heart, because they're 12, so it doesn't matter, and in a way I find it quite sweet that these kids feel that passionately about someone. I used to talk about being thin enough and pretty enough and I don't care about that now, but I think that's just part of growing up."
