Lily Allen Talks About Stillbirth - The Jonathan Ross Show

The 29-year-old went through the terrible ordeal four years ago after announcing the pregnancy with partner Sam Cooper in 2010.

Reflecting on the hard time in her life, Lily told Jonathan: "I think it’s difficult for anybody regardless of what world they live in and actually what I took home from that experience was even though it was the most unfortunate thing that can ever happen to a person, I was very fortunate in the sense that I have a loving partner to go home to and share that experience with.

"There are many women - [there are] 17 stillbirths in the UK everyday - that go home and they don’t have that support, they have to go home and deal with that on their own so I am kind of in a bit of a - since that happened - in a count my blessings scenario rather than feeling sorry for myself," she added.

Lily and husband Sam have gone on to have two daughters together named Ethel and Marnie, and Lily was keen to clear up the rumours that she hardly ever spends time with them.

Speaking about a recent article which showed Lily being given a lift home by musician Chris Martin after a party, Lily said: "The way that they had sort of insinuated it was that ‘she’s a mother of two, abandoning her children...’ I’m in a car with a father of two and at no point has anyone alluded to him abandoning his children!" she said.

"There is a double standard. And also it’s completely false because my children are with me most of the time. If there are photographers around, I make sure that I go in a different car because I don’t want them to have guys with what look like guns pointing at them the whole time and chasing them."

She continued: "One [of my children is] about to be three and one will be two in January. They don’t know what it is, they don’t know what a newspaper is."

Lily also revealed that she took her girls on tour with her earlier this year, and laughed: "Woah, 27 hours from Atlanta to New York with two kids under three... wicked!"

She and Sam are keen to expand their brood, and are even considering calling their future children silly names.

"Yes, I’d love a boy and I’d also like another girl just so I can call her Auxiliary Jane or Pizza," Lily told Jonathan.

"I quite like Pizza for a kid, or Mega Lolz that would be good. Megan Lolz," she giggled.
