Speaking to Scotland on Sunday, Allen, 23, defended Winehouse, 25, saying, "Yes, she does get out of her mind on drugs sometimes, but she is also a very clever, intelligent, witty, funny person who can hold it together.
"I mean, there aren't that many people with whom the press concentrate on their personality so much," she said.
"I think in the UK, as far as females go, it's mainly me and her that get that treatment. She gets it more than I do. But I don't see it that much with other people."
Allen's second album It's - Not Me, It's You - drops on February 9. The release is preceded by the first single from the album: The Fear.
