Songstress Amelia Lily has revealed that she has a strange fear of mushrooms after an unpleasant experience with them as a child.

Speaking to We Love Pop magazine, the 'You Bring Me Joy' sensation explained that she has been left "mentally disturbed" after biting into one years ago and can't bear them now:

"I'm scared of mushrooms! They look like snails and they're grown in poo! If I come across one somebody has to flick it off my plate otherwise I cry. When I was younger I grabbed a raw one and bit into it. It's mentally disturbed me."

Lily also joked, on a completely unrelated note, that if she could come back from the dead she'd like to haunt her ex-boyfriend:

"He was an idiot to me. I'd punch him in the face! Only joking. I'd just freak the living dead out of him! I'd pull the TV off his wall and throw it."
