Lily Allen went to 'nuthouse' after miscarriage

Singer says it helped her deal with grief

Lily Allen recently split with 45-year-old art dealer Jay Jopling

Lily Allen checked into a psychiatric hospital after suffering a miscarriage 12 months ago.

The Smile singer had been pregnant with Ed Simons' baby.

‘[I was in a] nuthouse. Psychiatric clinic,’ she tells the Sunday Mirror. ‘I stayed there for three weeks.

'I was really depressed because of the miscarriage and I'd kind of lost the plot a bit. It was quite a nasty time.

'It was quite nice being in there. No one could get to me; no one knew I was there.'

Lily, 23, split with Ed, 38, one half of the Chemical Brothers, shortly after.
