Lily Allen has responded to the backlash of abuse over her replacing Two Door Cinema Club as this Friday's Latitude Festival headliner.

The singer has said that she is "exhausted by the nastiness" she's received on Twitter, after front man Alex Trimble was admitted to hospital.

"If you're going to be rude about my replacing @TDCinemaClub on here, can you just un @ me please ? I'm so exhausted by the nastiness," she said.

"I understand that you're disappointed but I don't think that warrants abuse. They asked, I accepted, I will give it my all, + hope you enjoy... I need a khaleesi emoji "

If you're going to be rude about my replacing @TDCinemaClub on here, can you just un @ me please ? I'm so exhausted by the nastiness.

Two Door Cinema Club had previously explained the situation: "Alex collapsed at Seattle airport on the way to London and has been hospitalised with a chronic stomach complaint.

"We are devastated to have to cancel shows that we were so looking forward to. We can only apologise and hope for your understanding at this time."

Lily recently revealed she will be taking her daughters on tour with her when she supports Miley Cyrus.

Been here before, so I'm prepared
Not gonna lie though, I'm kinda scared
Lace up my gloves, I'm going in
Don't let my kids watch me when I get in the ring

I'll take the hits, roll with the punches
I'll get back up, it's not as if I've never done this
And then again, the game is changing
Can't just come back, jump on the mic and do the same thing
There goes the bell, I know that sound
I guess it's time for me to go another round
Wish me luck, I'm gonna need it
I'll see you on the other side, if I'm still breathing

RiRi isn't scared of Katy Perry's roaring
Queen B's going back to the drawing
Lorde smells blood, yeah, she's about to slay you
Kid ain't one to fuck with when she's only on her debut
We're all watching Gaga, L-O-L, oh, ha-ha
Dying for the art, so really, she's a martyr
Second best will never cut it for the divas
Give me that crown, bitch
I wanna be Sheezus

I'm ready for all the comparisons
I think it's dumb and it's embarrassing
I'm switching off, no longer listening
I've had enough of persecution and conditioning
Maybe it's an instinct, we're only animal
Maybe it's healthy, maybe it's rational
It makes me angry, I'm serious
But, then again, I'm just about to get my period (Whoa!)
Periods, we all get periods
Every month, that's what the theory is
It's human nature, another cycle
Be nice to me, I'll make you one of my disciples

RiRi isn't scared of Katy Perry's roaring
Queen B's going back to the drawing
Lorde smells blood, yeah, she's about to slay you
Kid ain't one to fuck with when she's only on her debut
We're all watching Gaga, L-O-L, oh, ha-ha
Dying for the art so, really, she's a martyr
Second best will never cut it for the divas
Give me that crown, bitch
I wanna be Sheezus

I am bored again, now run around and tell
All your friends to come and join us
Give yourselves to me, I am your leader
Let me be Sheezus
Let me be Sheezus

I am bored again, now run around and tell
All your friends to come and join us
Give yourselves to me, I am your leader
Let me be Sheezus
