Lily Allen knows the sex of her unborn baby

'Smile' singer Lily Cooper (nee Allen) has revealed that she knows the sex of her unborn baby although she is keeping the information under wraps until after the birth. 

In a new interview with the Evening Standard, the star explained that she hasn't even told her own mother yet:

"I do. It's between me and the husband. I haven't even told my mum. She thinks she knows what it is and whenever she calls me she refers to the baby as Betty."

She also added that with this pregnancy, she's taking it easy and exclaimed that "it's the one time in my life I'm allowed to do nothing":

"After my… last baby, I'm being really closely monitored so I come to London every Thursday for a scan. The doctor keeps telling me to take it easy. Instinctively I always want to be involved in everything. But with this pregnancy, especially with what happened last time, I'm getting to the point where I think, fuck everything. It's the one time in my life I'm allowed to do nothing.”

Following the interview's publication, she sent a series of tweets (September 9) to the Evening Standard that blasted their decision to change her last name back to Allen:

"Hey thanks for taking it upon yourselves to change my name back to Lily Allen in todays ES, when I specifically asked you not to, way to go, so much fun working with you, really enjoyed the process of 'guest editing'. Hmmmmmm."
