The Celebrity Truth

Lily Allen has announced that she is pregnant with her first child, saying that she and the baby’s father, Chemical Brothers musician Ed Simons, are "thrilled by the news".

Allen, 22, and Simons, 37, have been dating since September.

A spokesman for Allen said:

"I am pleased to confirm that Lily Allen and her boyfriend, Ed Simons, are expecting their first child.

"However, as the pregnancy is at a very, very early stage, the couple ask that you respect their privacy, as the health of Lily and their child is their paramount concern.

"As the pregnancy is at such an early stage, the couple will be making no further comment but they are obviously both thrilled by the news.”

The singer is due to release an album and front a new TV chat show next year.

Her spokesman confirmed the record release would go ahead, and BBC Three said that plans for the talk show, ‘Lily Allen and Friends’, remain unchanged.
