We rather like Lily Allen here at hecklerspray – she’s got the right mix of tunes and a gob on her. She’s what a popstar is supposed to be. So with that, we’re very, very sad to report that she’s lost her baby after a brief illness.
The singer fell ill with a viral infection last week and, being six months pregnant, she wanted to take every precaution to make sure everything was okay.
However, Allen was rushed to hospital with stomach cramps where doctors tried to save her unborn child, which sadly, were not successful.
This is not the first time Lily has lost a baby. In 2008, she lost a baby at four months. Of course, this has left the singer and her family with inconsolable grief.
A friend said:
“Lily and Sam are both devastated,”
“She had kept quiet for three months until she had the scan and doctors told her everything was okay. She was understandably so nervous after having had a ?miscarriage before.”
“But as soon as she got the all-clear, she talked to everyone and anyone about how excited she was. It was her dream to become a mum and she loved showing off her bump.”
“This is a nightmare for her and Sam. It's too early to say how she will be able to cope with this. They are both heartbroken.”
In a statement, a spokesman said:
“It is with great sadness that we have to confirm that Lily Allen and Sam Cooper have lost their baby.”
“The couple ask that their privacy be respected and that they be left alone at this deeply distressing time.”
This is an uncharacteristically sober story from hecklerspray, granted, but we’d like to send our condolences to Lily Allen and her partner, Sam Cooper.

Well expressed, Mof!
I’ve been a fan of the ‘Spray for years, and love the biting, sarcastic, witty, acerbic and immensely quotable bits I’ve come across. Not to mention the new bands I’ve discovered, the highly addictive time-wasting games I’ve gotten hooked on, and the Uniquely Brit take on things both National and Global.
However, when grim things happen to good people… you’re compassionate enough not to take the low road. Hell, even when tragic things have happened to absolute assholes, fame-whores and useless toss-pots in the past, you’ve collectively had the class to lay down the barbs for a day, or at the very least choose not to comment at all.
I hope the relentless UK tabloids follow suit, and back off.
Looking forward to Lily’s full recovery, and her time in the well-earned spotlight again.
Cheers!
