Pop star Lily Allen has been accused of 'glamorising' drug use after she shared pictures of herself on Twitter being carried away from an awards ceremony by security guards.

Allen shared the pictures, which were taken in 2008 at the Glamour Awards, after someone asked for 'the best reason you've been kicked out of an event, building or group'.

She continued:
