Lily Allen and boyfriend Sam Cooper have announced they are expecting their first child.

The pop singer told reporters that she was three months pregnant: “It brings me great pleasure to tell you that Sam and I are expecting our first child. It goes without saying that we are both absolutely delighted.”

Allen previously suffered a miscarriage in 2008 after falling pregnant by Ed Simmons, one half of the Chemical Brothers duo.

Rumours have been circulating that the star may be expecting after she was spotted at Glastonbury refusing alcohol and cigarettes.

Lily has made no secret of the fact she was keen to start a family and this year announced her plans to take a break from the music industry.
