Lily Allen’s marriage to actor David Harbour was the subject of a potent new album that Lily Allen has released. In her new album West End Girl, the songstress sings about her heartbreak on the discovery that the Stranger Things star had a three-year affair while they were engaged.

The 14 tracks Lily claimed to have written in 10 days reveal more about the upheaval she experienced after learning that David had been abducted.

Although Lily claims that the tracks are fact-part fiction, there are some unmistakable details. After discovering his profile on the popular dating app Raya, the singer broke up with David in December. Here are some songs about Lily’s journey that are discussed on her album.

Track with title

The title track of the album, which describes the couple’s early relationship, where Lily’s daughters live in a house in New York, is featured. She describes how happy she is that she has accepted a new role in West End productions 22 and A Ghost Story in 2021.

Lily says, “I miss you, but this is what you’re going to do.” The song then ends with an emotional phone call. Okay, so I’m not feeling great about it… If that’s what you need to do, then… I suppose. But how would it operate? I mean, I’m really depressed, but I want you to be content. You are my love.

Ruminating

Lily talks about how she couldn’t sleep while working in London in Song Ruminating. She claims, “I can’t shake the image of her naked.”

Then she sings, “Why can’t you wait for me to return home?” This conversation is too large for a call. I’ve spent the night ruminating and running. Did you look into her eyes while giving her a kiss? Have you enjoyed yourself? Will you not tell me that I’m still your number one now that it’s over, baby? Because you are my number one.

Sleepwalking

The third song on the album explores Lily’s reaction to her husband’s marriage ending. She then sings about how she initially believed there might be a second woman involved.

She sings: “‘ Why aren’t we f***ing, baby? ‘ Yes, you did exactly that. But you allowed me to believe that it was me and not the girls in your bed.

Tennis and Relapse

Lily makes the suggestion in Relapse that the two are in a committed relationship despite disagreeing with the idea. She sings, “I tried to be your modern wife, but the child in me protests.”

Before she discovers texts from a mystery girl on his phone, Tennis then discusses the singer’s plans for a welcome home meal for an unappreciative partner.

“I regret reading your texts,” I say. How you’ve been playing tennis has been convulsing my mind. I wouldn’t be jealous if it were just sex. You won’t play with me, Lily says, and who is Madeline?

Then she sings, “I have a lot of information that I can’t even process.” I then sent you a brief email explaining what I saw. And then you entered the bedroom, making it entirely my fault.

Just Enough and Madeline

Madeline features Lily admitting to texting the other woman involved in her marriage when she inquired, “Is it just sex or is emotion?”

She sings the depressing line “I think you’re in love with someone else, felt you pull away, and now I’m blaming myself” in the ballad Just Enough.

P**** Palace

One of the album’s most explosive songs, P***y Palace, features Lily describing kicking her husband out of their New York home and moving him to a different West Village apartment.

She arrives at the apartment, which “she had assumed would be a dojo,” but I realized something wasn’t working. Am I a “sex addict,” then?

She claims in the second verse that she found a shoebox of sexy toys as well as letters “from broken hearted women that wish you could have been better” and “how did I get caught up in your double life”?

Strictly Come Dancing star James Jordan has weighed in on hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman’s shock exit from the show. Whilst praising the pair, he added that ‘weak’ pro dancers should follow them out.

Tess and Claudia announced their departure from the show on Thursday (23 October) in a joint video, where they said: “After 21 wonderfully joyful years on Strictly, we have decided that the time is right to step aside.”

They added that they are bound by a collective bargain. Tess referred to Strictly as her “third child” and “second family” in a separate statement, promising to continue watching but felt the need to “hand over the reins.”

Among the celebrities giving their thoughts on the situation was James Jordan, who performed as a professional dancer on the series for eight years and whose partners included Denise Van Outen and Vanessa Feltz. He said the pair’s departure was a “big statement” but had nothing to do with the show’s recent scandals.

James told the Daily Mail, “It’s a big statement for them both to leave at once.” He continued, saying that “the scandals have no bearing on them” and that “things like that happen on a daily basis in all walks of life” doesn’t mean that the pair was exempt from the show.

He added that Strictly should also change their lineup of professional dancers. There needs to be more fresh blood in the professionals right now, according to the pro dancers. You need to know when to hang up your shoes, because it’s unfair for some pros on the show to do that.

James, who is married to fellow pro-dancer Ola Jordan, was infamous during his Strictly run for his hot-headed nature and conflicts with judge Craig Revel Horwood.

In 2011, the two were thought to be in feud after Craig scored James and his One Show partner Alex Jones a six for their charleston, outraging the dancer so much, he was reported to have stormed out of the studio.

His wife stayed for another two years while James left the show in 2013. Ola did so in series seven with Chris Hollins, but James also never won.

Additionally, James discussed who should take Tess and Claudia in place. Bradley Walsh and Tess’ own husband Vernon Kay suggested that the radio host belonged to an “underrated host.”

Roman Kemp was called an “outside the box” pick by him and added him to the mix. Then James added Stacey Dooley and Rylan Clark, two of his current favorites. Rylan may have been a better choice for him, but Stacey might have been, but not James’.

This de-puffing beauty product, known as the “eye slugs,” appears to be the real star of the show…

Who else will not enjoy this series of Married at First Sight UK? It adds the drama that weeknights have been missing. And while dinner party dramas are undoubtedly the focus of online conversation, a slightly left-field subject emerges that makes viewers’ minds spin.

What beauty item is it that puzzled watchers refer to as “eye slugs” and receives more airtime than some of the more conventional brides and grooms? An under-eye patch is the quick answer. These patches were first spotted on bride Leah at the start of the series, and they’ve since appeared on everyone from Rebecca to Rebecca to Nelly.

MAFS viewers are curious why they suddenly appear out of nowhere, whether or not they are wearing it in the morning or in the evening, or if the item is secretly “sponsoring the show.”

One user on the Holy Church of MAFS Facebook group pens in the comment section of a post dedicated to these under-eye patches: “I’m so happy someone else is talking about this because I was wondering what they are!”

One responds simply with “Eye slugs,” while the third responds with “I had to ask my daughter what they are–are they a sponsor”? !

We can confirm that Leah and Davide use Stella’s gold Under-Eye Masks, which retail for $17.95 for 24 pairs, on Amazon. These tiny gold slugs, which prime the area, reduce puffiness, and plump the appearance of fine lines in 20 minutes, promise to deliver camera-ready under-eyes in 20 minutes.

Explaining further, another Facebook user sheds light on why they’re so visible in this series: “Davide did an Instagram Live saying they get given to them by the production team because their roll calls for the dinner party would start at 6 am.”

Although there are a few other brands of Grace &amp, Stella’s eye patches available, it seems as though MAFS UK brides and grooms prefer using them. There are currently so many available that promise to treat pesky puffiness after long nights, but it would be like finding a needle in a haystack because we could hazard a guess as to which brands the patches are from.

However, we can share that many A-list celebrities use this exact plumping trick before rolling out on the red carpet. For instance, Adriana Lima and Anne Hathaway are referred to as fans of 111 Skin’s Cryo De-Puffing Eye Masks. Although they cost an additional £85 for eight, they are regarded as the most expensive mask on the market.

Stranger Things actress Millie Bobby Brown frequently appears in photos wearing her own Swimming Under the Eyes Gel Pads, priced at £34 for 60, for a little less money.

A brand-new show called Who’s In The Band will feature Simon Cowell, Spice Girl icon Mel B, and Jonas Brothers singer Joe Jonas. A pilot will be filmed the week before the show airs.

One of Simon Cowell’s new projects has been described as “a big two fingers up to ITV”.

The music mogul, 66, has linked up with Netflix for Simon Cowell: The Next Act, a six-episode docuseries which will follow Simon as he searches for Britain’s next big band. He is also going to be on the judging panel of new show Who’s In The Band, which records a pilot next week.

Spice Girl icon Mel B and Jonas Brother singer Joe Jonas will work alongside Simon for the latter, which ex-TV presenter turned producer Richard Bacon says will be popular with teenagers and young adults.

But the Netflix series, Simon Cowell: The Next Act, has particularly excited the TV industry. It is believed Netflix executives “felt bringing a name like Simon in for a factual entertainment show was a power move for the network”. Another source said the programme will be “a big two fingers up to ITV” after the cancellation of The X Factor in 2021.

But a source close to Simon, who created the global X Factor franchise, has denied there is “a rivalry”. They added: “There’s no rivalry nor residual issue – Simon’s focus is entirely on new formats and discovering talent.”

The X Factor, though, was scrapped after nearly 20 years on British TV screens and, at its peak, attracted 10 million viewers on a Saturday evening. It was the launching pad for a number of top-selling British music acts in the last two decades, from One Direction to Little Mix and Leona Lewis.

But Simon, who is thought to be worth £475million, continues to work with ITV on Britain’s Got Talent, which is still a staple after more than 18 years. His latest ventures, though, on other networks have television circles excited, it is understood.

The source told the Daily Mail: “Success on Netflix would be priceless retribution against ITV for the way The X Factor came to a close.” This theory is rejected by Simon, born in Lambeth, south London, whose new show Who’s In The Band will be presented by K-Pop Demon Hunters star Rei Ami, 30.

Following the chaos caused by Simon’s fall down yet another set of steps, Simon’s latest attempt to find talent came after the long-time judge’s auditions for Britain’s Got Talent went down.

He missed the first two days of filming in Birmingham after the incident, leaving producers to call in Stacey Solomon to temporarily fill his place on the panel. The star then later reappeared on the third day of auditions with a visible graze on his forehead, explaining only that he’d had “an accident.”
