Wednesday, 19 December 2007

Lily Allen has confirmed she's pregnant and the dad is brand new boyfriend Ed Simons.

The couple - who started dating in September - have only told close friends but insiders say they're over the moon.

‘Lily is thrilled to be pregnant and can’t wait to be a mum,’ a source close to the singer reveals.

‘She’s a real family person. Ed’s very happy. He is really looking after her.’

Lily, 22, is expected to work right up until her due date - and is said to be hosting her own BBC3 TV show Lily Allen And Friends.

‘It’s the icing on the cake for what has been an incredible 18 months for her,’ the source tells The Sun.

‘She is looking forward to finishing her new album early next year and releasing it before the birth.’

Lily is also joining Russell Brand for a spoof cinema version of classic novel Pride And Prejudice.

Update

A spokesman for the star has now confirmed the pregnancy and says the couple are 'thrilled by the news' but will be making no further comment as the pregnancy is at such an early stage.
