Lily Allen is desperate for a new boyfriend.

The “Fear” singer – whose last relationship with art dealer Jay Jopling end after only a month – hates attending showbiz parties alone and is reportedly begging friends to set her up with a new man.

“Lily hates being single – she needs a man in her life. She feels insecure going to events and hates turning up without a man. She wants someone to hold her hand for all the red carpet events she attends,” says a source.

“She’s even been asking friends to set her up on dates. She can’t seem to meet anyone, and it’s making her miserable.”

The 24-year-old singer previously dated Chemical Brothers star Ed Simons, 39.

“Lily’s vulnerable after her relationships failed,” the source added. “She is especially concerned about going on her tour without a boyfriend there for her backstage. She needs a man to take care of her, and to give her attention. Without that, she fears she’ll go off the rails.”
