Lily Allen learned to shoot rifles and ate "revolting" food during her time at a "posh" private school in the UK.

The 'Smile' singer, 39, has opened up about her early years revealing she hated her time at Hill House School in London - which was previously attended by King Charles - because the food was awful and their sports days were "weird".

During an episode of her 'Miss Me?' podcast with Miquita Oliver, Lily explained: "Urgh, I went to this one called Hill House, which was actually where Prince Charles went to school. They had this f****** disgusting brown bread that had massive seeds in it, and I was like, I can’t eat this, I’m a Mighty White girl.

"I just found it absolutely revolting."

When asked if the food at private schools is "posher", Lily replied: "No! These schools are all about their profit margins. I actually bet that the school dinners were worse at private schools than they were at state schools, because it’s all about coining it."

She also talked about the school's activities explaining their sports involved an obstacle course and assembling a gun cannon. Lily added: "It was f****** weird. We also did rifle shooting and fencing. I was quite good at fencing. That was the poshest school I went to."

However, despite her own dislike of "posh" schools, Lily admitted she's decided to send her two daughters - Ethel and Marnie - to a private school in New York, where the singer lives with her actor husband David Harbour.

She explained: "When we moved to America they went to public school here until the end of elementary school, and then we switched them to private school.

"That was not because I disagreed with the public schooling system, it was because there is a lottery here in Brooklyn, where we live, and the school that was offered to Ethel was a) too far away for us to commute, and b) I didn’t like the school, I didn’t think it was a very good school.

"So that was the option that was afforded to her and we had the resources to do something else, and I made that decision."

During a previous episode of the podcast, Lily insisted she's "not educated" after leaving school at 15 and always regrets not continuing her studies.

She said: "I’m not educated. I left school when I was 15 and I don’t even have one GCSE, not one qualification, and I am ashamed of it ... "

Lily went on to admit she considered going back to school to finish her education after becoming a mum but she felt "too embarrassed".

The singer added: "I really wanted to go into midwifery or obstetrics because that was something that really interested me but because I didn’t have any diplomas in GCSEs or A Levels it seemed too difficult, too much. I was too lazy.

"And actually too embarrassed. I thought I’d have to go and do my A Levels with a bunch of 18 year olds and I was already in my mid-thirties. I didn’t wanna do that."
