Lily Allen's spokesperson confirms the singer's hospitalisation

A spokesperson for the pop singer Lily Allen has confirmed that the singer is in hospital with septicaemia, only days after suffering a second miscarriage with her second baby earlier this week.

Her publicist revealed: "She is responding well to treatment and her condition continues to improve. Lily thanks everyone for their messages of support and again asks that she and partner Sam Cooper be left alone whilst she recovers."

Allen had indicated she was unwell to fans on her Twitter site only yesterday (November 5) and thanked fans for their support by tweeting: "I'm still very sick but the messages are helping me to be stronger. Thank you xx."

Friends of the star, who previously had a miscarriage when she was dating Chemical Brothers star Ed Simons in 2008, have also sent messages of support.

Allen started dating 32-year-old Cooper, a builder, last year and announced that she was pregnant in August after being given the all-clear at her three-month scan.
