Lily Allen pregnant

Pop princess Lily Allen has announced that she is pregnant by her 32-year-old decorator boyfriend Sam Cooper. The couple have been dating since July, 2009.

The postar gushed, "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."

She had kept tongues wagging for weeks about her pregnancy, after she cancelled both her Glastonbury and Benicassim festival appearances last month.

Allen is taking a hiatus from the music business to concentrate on her new fashion venture, "Lucy in Disguise".
