Lily Allen has given birth to a baby girl. The 27-year-old singer and her husband, Sam Cooper, welcomed Marnie Rose Cooper into the world on Tuesday night.
Lily and Sam are also parents to a 14-month-old girl named Ethel.
The Sun newspaper reported the following from a source close to the pair: “Marnie is a real cutie. Sam and Lily are ecstatic about adding another girl to the family. A little sister for Ethel is brilliant news to lift the January blues for the family.”
It’s very happy news for the couple, especially considering Lily’s struggles in the past; she tragically lost two children previously, one by miscarriage in 2008 and one by stillbirth in 2010.

Gwyneth looks amazeballs. God help me she looks incredible.
On the misheard song lyrics - people of a certain age might know of a 1980 Richard Clapton song which I sang for years as 'I'm so tired, babe'. Quite the popular song at the time. Something like 20 years later, I heard it through different ears on a classic hits station and to my embarrassment I realised that it was actually 'High Society'. It's funny how you can be embarrassed even if no-one is around when your mistake comes to light!
From a similar era - my mother thought Paul McCartney / Wings had a very successful song called 'You're Looking Tired'. (Mull of Kintyre)
