Lindsay Lohan has spoken candidly about her break up from Samantha Ronson.

The Mean Girls star said she lost control of her life during the relationship, which ended in April.

"We're friends, I lost myself a bit with Sam, like many people do when they're in a relationship,” she told Closer magazine.

Lindsay added that she wanted to enjoy being single again in order to refocus on her acting career.

"I want to be on my own for a while,” she added. “I need to care about myself now."

The actress also denied claims she was suffering from an eating disorder, after recent photographs showed her looking thin.

She said: "I like the way I look - I'm not starving myself, contrary to popular belief. I'm criticised when I'm too thin or too heavy."
