Lily Allen is being touted as the saving grace of BBS Three, which producers are hoping she’ll appeal to the internet generation and attract a new audience to the much criticized channel.

Lily Allen’s late night chat show Lily Allen and Friends might not be the huge hit corporation chiefs are praying for.

During recording of the all-important first program, more than a third of the studio audience walked out, saying they were bored and complaining it was “horrible” and “limp”.

One of the fans who walked out said: “Everyone really, really wanted it to work for Lily. She is such a lovely person but all the jokes fell flat and she seemed very nervous. It just did not work.

“I do think she’s got a nice voice but she didn’t sing at all. I think everyone was expecting she would.”

As well as her inexperience, Miss Allen had to fight technical glitches including a jammed teleprompter, which left her reliant on handwritten cue cards.

One guest said: “We were all standing about, getting quite tired.

“She was halfway through her interview with David Mitchell when she seemed to forget the questions and launched into an attack on all the horrible things people had written about her on online chat forums.

“It was terrible. Even David Mitchell had to remind her not to criticize the very people who would be watching the show.”

Another guest said: “We were all told when to clap and laugh but a lot of people, including me, were very uncomfortable. Much of the humor was very limp.”

Lily Allen has split up with her boyfriend, Chemical Brothers musician, Ed Simons.

Reports first came in saying that Lily had been dumped. A friend close to the singer says that the couple actually spent some time together Saturday, reportedly in an attempt to salvage their relationship.

The split comes just after news that Allen miscarried the baby the couple had been expecting.

“She is feeling fine,” Allen’s friend says. “She is throwing herself into her work on her new album and TV show.”

Only two days ago, she excitedly joined her family to watch her thespian brother Alfie take the stage in the lead role of Equus in Chichester, southern England.

It’s a very sad day for Lily Allen and Ed Simons. Her rep has confirmed that the Smile singer has suffered a miscarriage.

Allen’s rep also said:

“She and her partner Ed Simons will be making no further comment and we ask that their privacy be respected during this difficult time.”

Our condolences!

The 22-year-old singer found she was expecting last month, but has only revealed the news to close family.

She and Chemical Brother boyfriend Ed Simons, 37, are delighted.
A source close to the singer said: “Lily is thrilled to be pregnant and can’t wait to become a mum. She’s a real family person. “Ed’s very happy. He is really looking after her.”
The Smile singer has been dating Ed – who is 15 years her senior – since September.

They now plan to set up home together. Lily, whose debut album Alright, Still was the huge hit of last summer, has made no secret of her desire to start a family.

Our source said: “Lily could not be happier.

She looks like Rose McGowan!

Singer Lily Allen has revealed her recent dramatic weight loss came after doctors ordered her to get fit when they discovered she had a heart murmur.

Allen, 22, sparked concern when she shed 19lbs and dropped from a size 12 to an eight in just six weeks.

But Miss Allen, who topped the charts with Smile, said the weight came off when she was told the “scary” news that she had the heart condition.

She told a magazine: “I found out I had a heart murmur about three months ago. I had switched doctors and just went for a routine check up, which is when they discovered I had this irregular murmur.

“I have been asthmatic all my life, but this was really quite scary. When they asked me how much exercise I did, I had to be honest and say hardly any.”

And it was that medical discovery that turned her life on its head.

Allen said: “I make sure I work out three times a week now, and I don’t hold back. It’s a hardcore routine and I’m usually in the gym for at least an hour-and-a-half.

“I used to love nothing more than sitting in front of the telly with two packets of Ginger Nuts and two bags of milk bottle sweets – and I’d devour the lot.

“But this heart thing has made me cut back on all that kind of crap. I now find that, because I am looking after myself, I don’t feel like eating the bad stuff so much.”

She told Grazia magazine: “I really want to stress that I haven’t done this because I want to become some skinny minnie – I will never be like that.

“I just like being more toned, it has made me really happy and I know I will never be super skinny because I would never be happy.

“I don’t understand people who are crazy thin and deprive themselves, they must be miserable.

“I was going pretty crazy back in the summer, drinking way too much and partying loads.

“But now I don’t want to drink so much, I’ve been cutting back. I should also give up smoking, but haven’t quite managed that yet.”

A heart murmur, a quiet rushing sound that a doctor hears in the heart with a stethoscope, is often harmless but can also indicate a hole in the heart or a heart valve problem.

Tony Blair had to go into hospital when he was Prime Minister for treatment for a heart murmur after feeling palpitations.

Allen, who is dating Chemical Brothers performer Ed Simons, 37, recently revealed she wants to make only one more album before retiring at 25 to start a family.
