The Smile singer posted a message on her Twitter page shortly after the celebrity bash in 2009, telling her fans about the alleged snub.

But the 78-year-old former Dynasty star has now revealed that she rebuffed Allens over-familiar advances because she didnt know who she was.

Writing in UK newspaper, the Daily Mail, the veteran actress said: 'Too many people today are over-familiar. At a party a couple of years ago, a girl dashed forward to greet me in hug n kiss mode, her arms outstretched.

'I had no idea who she was, so I took a step back and said, 'Sorry, I don't kiss people I don't know'. The girl was Lily Allen, whom I had never met before.

She added: 'Later that night, she [Allen] went on Twitter to report I had blanked her and, by the next morning, friends in America were emailing me about this complete non-event. All the power of the internet.'
