Lily Allen has made a huge announcement following the huge buzz around the release of her new album, West End Girl.

She is making her long-awaited return to the stage following the release of her brutally honest new album West End Girl. The singer-songwriter, 40, will take her new material on a UK theatre tour in March 2026.

She will be performing in cities including Glasgow, Liverpool, Newcastle, Bristol and Cardiff, before wrapping up with two nights at the London Palladium. Tickets go on sale on Friday, November 7 at 10am.

The Smile hitmaker’s fifth studio album has caused a stir for its unflinching lyrics about the breakdown of her four-year marriage to Stranger Things star David Harbour. The couple split last December after Lily accused the actor of having an affair.

In her most talked-about track, Madeline, she appears to confront her ex’s alleged infidelity, singing: “How long has it been going on? Is it just sex or is there emotion?/ He told me it would stay in hotel rooms, never be out in the open.”

She continues in the chorus: “We had an arrangement/ Be discrete and don’t be blatant. There had to be payment/ It had to be with strangers/ But you’re not a stranger, Madeline.”

Lily has described West End Girl as her most personal record yet, explaining that it was born out of “deep-rooted issues with rejection and abandonment”.

In a chat with Perfect magazine, she said: “I have deep-rooted issues with rejection and abandonment which I’ve been tussling with for most of my adult life and probably quite a lot of my childhood as well.”

After taking a step back from music for seven years to focus on acting, where she earned acclaim for her stage roles in 2:22 A Ghost Story and The Pillowman, Lily said her album helped her process the “sorrow and pain” of her divorce.

She also admitted that writing again felt like “therapy”, and is grateful for having that creative outlet during one of the most difficult periods of her life.

This week she told Interview magazine: “It isn’t [a revenge album]. I mean, I wrote this record in 10 days in December and I feel very differently about the whole situation now. We all go through breakups and it’s always f***ing brutal.

“But I don’t think it’s that often that you feel inclined to write about it while you’re in it. At the time, I was really trying to process things and that’s great in terms of the album, but I don’t feel confused or angry now. I don’t need revenge. It’s not a cruel album. It was just the feelings I was processing at the time.”

Her new tour will feature songs from West End Girl alongside hits from her back catalogue, including Not Fair and The Fear, as she makes her long-awaited return to the stage in 2026.

Lily Allen has acknowledged that she traveled 6, 000 miles to “hook up” with a famous person.

The singer claimed that the events were “meticulously planned” and that she had traveled all the way to Japan. The 40-year-old has claimed to have gone above and beyond to meet with her potential crushes.

Following her split from Stranger Things actor David Harbour, Lily released her fifth studio album West End Girl last week.

Following Lily’s discovery that the actor had been having an affair for three years, Lily’s previous marriage is what is known about. The album has received more than eight million streams on the UK iTunes chart while occupying the top spot.

A reader posed the question, “What is the best way to hook up with a celebrity,” in a Q&amp, A with Interview Magazine.

She claimed she had already found out about this by researching the celebrity’s schedule so she could be certain to see him perform at the same festival as him. She admitted to traveling 6, 000 miles to locate the man she wanted to hook up with.

Lily responded, “Well, I’ve only done this a few times, and it’s been very meticulously planned. You kind of find yourself in a situation where the famous person perceives you as discovering you, rather than the opposite.

I looked at the touring schedule of a particular celebrity and discovered that he was going to be in Japan.

So I made sure to register for this festival and that I would be one of the few English-speaking people there, which I believe made me interesting. Actually, both of my celebrity hookups were with different celebrities in Japan.

Lily didn’t reveal who they celebs in question were but in her 2018 autobiography, My Thoughts Exactly, she spoke about joining the mile high club with Liam Gallagher while on a flight to Japan in 2009.

The musical duo got “hammered” together and had sex in the restrooms when they met on the plane and were both headed to the Fuji Rock Festival.

According to Lily, they later returned to their hotel together after one incident led to another in the chapter where she writes. She wrote, “When we arrived in Tokyo, Liam yelled, “What are you doing now?” in his distinctive nasal twang. Why don’t you return to our hotel? I was like, ‘ Yeah, OK’.

We were struck on the plane, “We got hammered.” When Liam and I were flush together in the bathroom, he should have stopped doing it, and it wasn’t drugs.

Since David Harbour’s three-year affair with his spouse ended in 2003, Lily Allen’s most recent album, West End Girl, is based on that relationship.

After Lily Allen’s new album, it has emerged that she was the singer who died in 2015 from David Harbour’s apartment in New York.

In 2015, a talented musician died while residing in the actor’s apartment. While David was away working in Canada in September 2015, Christina Croft, 29, was by herself in the apartment. The death was not viewed as suspicious, according to the NYPD.

Despite the fact that she left a note at his East Village apartment, they later declared the death to be “undetermined.” After reportedly having trouble finding a home before meeting Harbour, Croft reportedly collapsed to her death from the third floor apartment.

After Lily Allen’s ex-wife released her new album last week, which deals primarily with David, this has come to light.

Croft’s cousin Duana’s mother, Marlon Martindale, is married to her cousin, according to the Daily Mail. The family was initially informed by police that the incident was a suicide despite the fact that she appeared to be in “good spirits” in the days before.

According to Martindale, “I don’t recall being informed of a suicide note, but the person who spoke to her afterwards assured me that she was in good spirits.” How exactly did Croft and Harbour interact?

According to Martindale, Croft had been taking medication and struggling with her mental health. “Yes, Christin died in 2015 from David Harbour’s apartment,” Martindale said. She battled mental illness. She vowed to end her relationship with her.

Harbour claimed that he was assisting a friend who was struggling in her life at the time. She was a struggler, he told the New York Daily News. She was a shelter worker. I attempted to assist her.

Her family, however, denied that she was a shelter person. When David learned that Croft had passed away, he was in Toronto to watch Black Mass.

Later, she was identified by police sources as having a history of mental illness. In the sci-fi horror series Stranger Things, Harbour gained fame for playing the detective Jim Hopper in 2016.

In a Las Vegas wedding in 2020, he wed singer Lily Allen, but they are no longer together. Since then, Lily has claimed that David and Lilly have been married for three years. David has not yet responded to the allegations of the affair.

Despite splitting in 2023, the musician filed for divorce in September of that year. Lily claims that Lily’s new album is based on David’s infidelity and how she handled it at the time.

The album, which is Allen’s first in seven years, soared to the top of the UK iTunes chart within 24 hours of its release and has already been streamed more than 8 million times.

Following the investigation into bullying allegations that were being investigated, Kaye Adams has now made a statement after being removed from her BBC Scotland radio show earlier this month.

Kaye Adams has shared details about her career’s “most distressing” years.

Loose Women star Kaye has she is “unable to sleep” after having the “sh***iest weeks ever” amid her BBC bullying probe. The broadcaster was removed from her position at BBC Scotland earlier in the month after junior staff members accused her of bullying.

The 62-year-old allegedly yelled at other coworkers, according to the broadcaster’s Call It Out ad campaign. Kaye has now stated that her “professional life” has been the “most distressing” the past few weeks.

The actress claims she hasn’t been dealing with the situation well but that it will be resolved. She claimed she is attempting to get past the incident but didn’t witness it.

Kaye discussed how she was doing in the most recent episode of How To Be 60, the podcast she co-hosts with Karen MacKenzie who is currently receiving chemotherapy.

We have both had the s****iest weeks ever, albeit for very different reasons, so I must warn you that if you’re here for the laughs, you might be disappointed.

When Kaye responded, “Oh, I’m great!” she sarcastically responded, “Oh, I’m great!” She then went on to explain how her partner Ian Campbell’s alarm now goes off before her, citing how she has been getting up earlier than usual.

She continued, “I tell you what I’m finding difficult is not sleeping because I love my sleep and don’t feel well.” Because I don’t wake up at 6am like I used to, Ian’s alarm sets off first, so let me tell you something: this is gallows humor.

Because I’m constantly up and running, I don’t typically hear Ian’s alarm. What’s the alarm for Ian, exactly? Always Look On the Bright Side of Life, she remarked.

Kaye has denied that BBC Scotland ever had any incidents. While investigations are pending, Kaye has been replaced on air by Connie McLaughlin.

Since being suspended, the veteran broadcaster, who hosts her three-hour phone-in show, has received a lot of messages of support.

A senior BBC Scotland figure told The Daily Mail that interviews have been conducted with both presenters and former collaborators.

They look back over the years, not just one incident. Although the investigation is still ongoing, a number of people have shared their experiences with Kaye.

When will the investigation be concluded or when Kaye will resume her regular role on the radio?

A BBC Scotland spokesman said: “We would not comment on any individual case when the incident was first brought up. We have effective internal controls in place to handle any complaints or concerns.

Celia Imrie has been labelled Celebrity Traitors’ answer to Miss Marple, as a body language expert says she can do something ‘most people lack the courage to do’

Celebrity Traitors star Celia Imrie has been branded the as a ‘perfect’ Miss Marple of the series, following the latest episode where the Faithfuls finally caught out Traitor Jonathan Ross.

While Celia previously admitted that she has “a bit of a crush” on Jonathan, she didn’t let that cloud her judgment as she voted for Jonathan on several occasions before her fellow Faithfuls joined together to vote him out for good.

Celia was also praised by body language expert Judi James, who labelled the actress the ‘leader of the Faithfuls’ and said she can do something ‘most people lack the courage to do’.

Judi told Paddy Power Bingo: “Celia is a delight for so many reasons, notably her one-liners and her apparent lack of deception and her fearlessness. She will front people out and her fronting out of Alan saw him squirming for real, mainly because she does something most people lack the courage to do when confronting others, which is to sustain the scrutiny.”

She added: “Celia has become the leader of the Faithfuls, possibly without realising it. She is the perfect Miss Marple on the show, but she has a non-verbal trait that most actors in a role lack, which will help her popularity with the viewers.”

Judi added that ‘Celia’s facial muscles and her lines’ pull perfectly into ‘all the personality traits she is showing on this show’. “She has achieved the state of appearing to ‘be herself’ but to still be wildly entertaining, theatrical, and engaging. Her congruence is probably why she should win this competition.”

It comes as Jonathan’s reign as lead Traitor has ended after he was voted out by not only the Faithfuls but his fellow Traitors, Cat Burns and Alan Carr.

Jonathan was a Traitor on the series from the very first episode but it took the Faithfuls quite some time to find him out. The presenter made a shocking exit speech where he tried to convince everyone he was Faithful until the end. However, he then lifted the veil and revealed the real truth.

The star didn’t hold back when it came to his exit speech, with him branding his fellow contestants as “idiots” before revealing his Traitor status.

“I’ve got no idea what everyone’s doing wrong,” he told them. “I can’t believe you’ve done it again. I can’t believe that I’m standing here for no good reason I don’t want to be rude, but, you’re idiots!

“I’m not judging, because it’s fiendish – I’m not blaming the players, I’m blaming the game. I am now, and have been all through the game, completely Faithful,” he insisted, as heads went into hands around the table, before he added: “To the Traitors!”

Everyone cheered that they had finally managed to catch a Traitor after weeks of not being able to. Cat Burns and Alan Carr are the two remaining Traitors in the game.
