Lily Allen has dressed up as David Harbour’s ‘mistress’ for Halloween, after releasing a song about the alleged infidelity that ended their marriage as part of her new album

Lily Allen caused a stir with her Halloween outfit
Lily Allen used Halloween as an opportunity to take a cheeky dig at her ex-husband David Harbour, dressing up as his alleged mistress ‘Madeline’. The 39-year-old singer has been making headlines with the release of her new album West End Girl, which features candid songs about the breakdown of her marriage, including allegations of infidelity.
The first single from the album, aptly named ‘Madeline’, seems to reference David’s supposed mistress with the lyrics “and who’s Madeline?”. On the same day the single was released, Lily made an appearance at the Chateau Marmont hotel in Los Angeles, dressed as the beloved children’s book character, Madeline, in what appears to be a thinly veiled jab at her ex’s alleged affair, according to reports.
Lily completed her costume with an orange bob wig, white socks, black shoes and a red Birkin handbag. Despite accusing the Stranger Things actor of being unfaithful, Lily maintains that her new song is a blend of personal experiences and fiction. However, fans have been eager to uncover the story behind the anthem, with one interviewer boldly asking Lily, “Who the f*** is Madeline?”.

Comparisons have been drawn between Lily’s song and Dolly Parton’s classic ‘Jolene’, as well as Beyoncé’s ‘Sorry’ with its infamous line about “Becky with the good hair” following Jay-Z’s admission of infidelity.
Lily’s Halloween costume was among the standout celebrity outfits this year, with A-listers pulling out all the stops for the red carpet. This comes after Lily has been accused of using her bitter divorce from David to propel her latest album West End Girl, as part of a ‘strategic PR move’. It was reported that some of the tracks had been written by the mum of two four years ago at the time she had just started her romance with the Stranger Things actor.
According to reports some of those involved in the making of the album are describing it as a “vindictive publicity stunt” and “part of a carefully constructed PR strategy.”
By her own admission, Lily, 40, has said that her album was “autofiction” and confessed to using “poetic licence.” But those who were heavily involved in the completion of the album have reportedly claimed it was in fact based on a previous album. And this particular album was written four years ago, when she had just started dating David.
The couple started dating back in 2019 after matching on the celebrity dating app Raya. And by the following year, they embarked on a shot gun wedding and married in Las Vegas the following year.
The Daily Mail states that some of the content is resurfaced material from a previous “revenge album” she had been working on, but never came to fruition.
An insider reportedly said: “Some years ago Lily wrote a really, really honest album about men she had come into contact with who weren’t exactly nice to her, it was nothing to do with David; this was all taking place when they were deliriously happy. But this is where West End Girl stemmed from.”
They continued: “Then, peppered in, are clear references to the breakdown of her marriage to actor David but by no means is it all about him, though Lily has been very happy to allow that narrative to continue and bash David. ” They continued to say that she has done very little to put an end to the negative narrative that is surrounding her split. The source went on to say that the star can be prone to being “vindictive” when it comes to talking about her ex partners.
Lily’s album has been a huge talking point among many since it’s release earlier this month, especially as one of her tracks is about a woman who allegedly had an affair with David. In the song Lily tells fans that she contacted a woman, who she refers to as Madeline, who she believed had an emotional connection with David, which went against her open marriage agreement with the actor.
The lyrics read: “We had an arrangement, be discreet and don’t be blatant/ There had to be payment, it had to be with strangers, but you’re not a stranger, Madeline.” Lily then goes through a series of text messages sent by ‘Madeline’, who has recently been named as Natalie Tippett, a single mother.
Despite the controversy surrounding her album, it appears it is doing well in the singles charts. The singer has always claimed that the material in the album was not to be intentionally cruel, but it was a means of expressing her inner thoughts.

Since the album was released, the relationship between Lily and her ex appears to be amicable as he was spotted with her daughters Ethel 13 and Marnie, 12. A source went on to inform the publication that it’s likely Lily doesn’t detest David half as much as what many are led to believe but it’s release has come at the worst time possible for David.
Netflix are reportedly not having David at the centre of promotions while he is in the middle of a negative media storm. The publication states that Stranger things is a “squeaky clean” TV show and this could potentially be damaging.
reporter for Manchester United visits the City Ground.

The saying goes, “If you can’t win, don’t lose,” applies.
Manchester United had lost positions under Ruben Amorim and had only eight points before going to Nottingham Forest. Since losing six matches in a row in April, when Rasmus Hojlund’s last-minute effort to draw leveled them at the break, they had not recovered.
United were staring down the barrel when they realized they were trailing at the City Ground after conceding twice in a matter of minutes as Forest overturned a contentious opening goal.
After his side recovered to draw, Amorim’s response was as unclear as nails.
Do you think you would have lost it if that game had taken place last season?
The conclusion was equally decisive.
“Yes, and by more goals, I’m thinking.
The reality is never known. Nine minutes into the game, Amad Diallo flashed home a sensational first-time volley from just outside the penalty area to earn a point, which is what we do know.
Since the start of the season, it has become clear that United are playing more effectively this term. They have also started to get better results since October.
The willpower, the desire, and the refusal to give in cannot be quantified.
Amorim felt that his players’ performances in this game demonstrated how much they could improve.
“We don’t recover from this kind of bad five minutes and two goals,” Amorim said.
two hours ago
Amorim didn’t say it, but Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha’s arrival must have helped.
Cunha does not shy away from challenging circumstances, in fact, quite the opposite. When he was booed by home fans for what they thought was his gamesmanship in the first half, he responded by pointing to the badge on his shorts rather than ignore it.
Mbeumo is the epitome of a hustle-bustle jerk who will never let his or her opponent rest.
Amorim was specifically questioned about what had caused the mental improvement. Beyond blaming his previous three wins, he didn’t really provide an answer.
He said, “The confidence, of course, is completely different.” We have had three excellent games, and each one has different levels of confidence. We have better understanding of one another. More is discussed in this context.
We demonstrated that while there are bad games this year, there are three good ones all in.

Futures for Zirkzee and Mainoo are still uncertain.
Joshua Zirkzee and Kobbie Mainoo must have become even more uncertain about their futures in Amorim’s new-look Manchester United if this day demonstrated United’s resilience.
Amorim said in his pre-game press conference that players who believe they face a possible absence from the World Cup could request a departure in January.
Zirkzee and Mainoo are likely to fall under that category. This season, Zirkzee has made 82 minutes of his four Premier League substitute appearances. The number is 138 from seven for Mainoo.
As United fought back from the 50th minute to regain control of a game they were losing, neither team has started a Premier League game this season, nor were they asked to come off the bench.
We have a lot of quality on the bench, but Amorim said, “Sometimes, I have the impression that if I keep stopping the game, I’m going to break something.”
“We were improving during the second half, so my impression was that the guys in front had no room to improve.”
In the final days of the summer, Mainoo agreed to join Napoli, but United refused to approve a deal. Zirkzee initially anticipated a return to Italy, but he is now ready to do so.
The absence of Mbeumo and Amad from the Africa Cup of Nations in December, which includes a few midweek games that will require a level of rotation not previously required, makes the situation worse.
The pair should be back well before the transfer window closes on February 2 – which could mean a later resolution than any wantabe would prefer because the final is on January 18.
When asked specifically about Zirkzee and Mainoo, Amorim responded, “It is the characteristics of the game.” They are aware that it is only a moment.
With a 1-0 victory for Tottenham, Joseo Pedro finally ended his Chelsea goal drought, prolonging the club’s miserable home record on Saturday.
When Joao Pedro scored late in the first half of the London derby at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Enzo Maresca’s side took the lead.
His first goal in nine games, which came against Fulham on August 30; it was also his first in all competitions.
Since leaving Brighton in a £60 million ($78 million) move in the close-season, the 24-year-old has scored just three goals for the Blues.
Chelsea moved into fourth place in the Premier League after winning third place behind third-placed Tottenham in goal difference with a third straight victory.
Since beating Burnley on the opening weekend of the season in August, Tottenham haven’t won at home in the league.

Their miserable home league performance in 2025 began with Frank’s successor Ange Postecoglou, but the former Brentford boss has not yet found a solution.
Tottenham have performed much better on the road this year, winning 3-0 at Everton in their previous top-flight match despite losing in the League Cup fourth round at Newcastle in midweek.
However, Tottenham fans are beginning to express dissatisfaction with Frank’s prosaic tactics, which contrast sharply with the club’s “to dare is to do” philosophy.
When Lucas Bergvall suffered a head injury and was replaced by Xavi Simons, a concussion replacement, Frank was struck by an early injury blow.
Bergvall pleaded with Tottenham’s medical staff to allow him to remain on, but when they refused, he enraged one of the doctors before Frank intervened to calm the situation.
Sloppy Spurs,  
Chelsea’s main threat came in the first half when Alejandro Garnacho fired a distance challenge on Guglielmo Vicario from the distance.
Midway through the second half, Vicario suffered a knee injury, but he was able to continue after receiving treatment and immediately came to Tottenham’s aid.
Vicario stood up to repel his low strike as Pedro Porro’s clearance rebounded off Garnacho to Joao Pedro inside the area.
However, Joao Pedro was not let down by his 34th minute opener, which made amends for that mistake.
On the edge of the Tottenham area, Moises Caicedo tenaciously harried Simons and Micky van de Ven before winning possession and directing the ball to Joao Pedro, who fired into the roof of the net from six yards.
Tottenham’s poor defending caused Frank to kick a water bottle out in disgrace on the touchline.
Joao Pedro almost struck again after taking Malo Gusto’s pass and unleashing a powerful effort that Vicario tipped over.
After the ugly challenge on Reece James was declared “not serious foul play,” Rodrigo Bentancur may consider himself fortunate to escape with a booking.
Robert Sanchez was equal to it when Tottenham finally made contact with him on the stroke of half-time with a Mohammed Kudus volley.
Unmarked, Enzo Fernandez headed wastefully over James’ cross shortly after the break.
Frank’s side admitted to giving up possession far too easily, and their supporters became increasingly frustrated as a result of their lack of attacking momentum.
Tottenham never seriously threatened a late escape, but the fans’ anger increased as Vicario’s temper grew.
Arsenal fans have a lot of hope for the title game, but it’s frequently been shattered as a result.
However, this season has a different feel.
With a 2-0 victory over Burnley on Saturday, they moved seven points clear of the Premier League, despite having won more games than some of those in the bottom six. This is their fifth straight win in a row.
The victory also put pressure on traditional rivals Liverpool, who face second-placed Bournemouth on Sunday in the league game against Manchester City, and Manchester City, who are nine points behind.
Although it is still early, could Arsenal’s reign come to an end after 22 years of waiting and finishing second for the first three seasons?
Strength from set pieces

With just 16 goals conceded in 46 games, Burnley earned promotion to the Championship last year, demonstrating how determined they can be. They also had a strong defensive record.
Set-pieces became crucial once more when Mikel Arteta’s men were confronted with disciplined and organized defensive lines that made scoring from open play challenging.
With their eighth consecutive win in this category against Arsenal, the most a team has ever had in its first ten games of a campaign, coming from a corner, at Turf Moor.
The top flight’s dead-ball team has scored 12 of their 18 league goals this season, which is the highest ratio by any team in a single Premier League season. More than any other team has scored in this number.
Former Newcastle striker Alan Shearer told BBC Sport, “I can’t see a weakness.”

A defense that is almost unbreakable

When Arsenal last conceded, they must go back to their previous game against Newcastle, which they did 2-1.
In the seven games since then, they have allowed one goal, but they did manage to end that run when Burnley’s Marcus Edwards hit the post from a free kick in the closing seconds.
With a 2-0 victory, Arsenal had kept a clean sheet for the first time since March and April 1999 (also a run of seven) with a run of clean sheets in all competitions.
On Tuesday, Slavia Prague will host them in the Champions League. Only the second time in the club’s history will they have kept teams out for eight games straight if they can avoid conceding again, having previously managed to get it back in 1903, so it will only be the second time.
Arsenal teams from recent seasons might have been bullied in a physical battle at Burnley away, but they are now able to face such odds.
Nedum Onuoha, a former defender for Manchester City, said: “Arnswer Arsenal’s biggest flaw is that they are a bit soft-centered, you could almost bully them. When I first started doing punditry in 2021,” he said.
Now let’s take a closer look at how they play. It will be a fight if necessary. A footballing game can be one when it is necessary.
depth of strength
This summer, Arsenal spent about £250 million on improving their squad, and they are beginning to realize the advantages of having more depth.
With the long-term absences of Martin Odegaard and Noni Madueke, they already have a sizable injury list, with forwards Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz among them.
The Gunners have taken the pressure off the Gunners by putting pressure on them, but the players who have stepped in have more than made that happen.
According to Onuoha, “The depth that they have, is that if someone drops out, it’s the next person up.”
altering adversaries
Boss Arteta has previously cited timing as a factor in Arsenal’s Premier League demise since he took over in 2019.
He pointed out that Liverpool won the Premier League last year with fewer points than the Gunners had managed the previous two campaigns in May.
However, they seem to have the right opportunity this term given their strong start to the season while their rivals have struggled.
Liverpool have now lost their final four games, but they have already won five Premier League games in a row.
Meanwhile, Manchester City hasn’t won in five games, three losses, or a draw thus far.
None of the teams that have been successful in this regard have won the title in the previous six seasons, despite what Arsenal supporters may begin to believe.
Gary Neville, a former defender for Manchester United, said on Sky Sports, “Arsenal are trustworthy, you can trust them.” Arsenal, this is your job title. It’s so early in the season, but it really is [yours]; I’ve never really felt that way.
In a one-sided autumn test, Scotland defeated the United States to record their biggest victory in Murrayfield’s 100-year history, with the help of Darcy Graham and Jamie Dobie scoring hat-tricks.
Duhan Van der Merwe led the team, scoring two tries in his 50th cap as Scotland dominated an underpowered and disjointed USA side.
Van der Merwe, Graham, and Dobie all crossed twice in a blistering 40 minutes as Dylan Richardson opened the scoring with a five-minute crash over.
After a few minutes into the second period, Graham scampered in to add a treble to his hat-trick, moving to level with Van der Merwe, and late on, Dobie, who had moved to the wing, was also able to score a treble.
In the second half, Kyle Rowe, Stafford McDowall, George Horne, and Ollie Smith each scored in a late burst against a shell-shocked USA team that gave Scotland an 85-point lead.
Dobie andamp; McConnell excel in blowout victories.
No one who visited Murrayfield anticipated a different outcome, despite the size of Scotland’s victory, which was their third-largest victory.
Due to the game being played outside of the Test window, some of the players on both sides lost out on the opportunity to shine.
After only a few club games, Edinburgh back row Liam McConnell was given his debut, and it was obvious how intense he was.
Van der Merwe’s first run and passing performance in a basketball game resulted in his second, and Graham’s lineout steal came to an end with Graham receiving Rowe’s wonderful pass.
“A few put the 23rd game against New Zealand in the hands of a few.”

Dobie also excelled in a typically hectic display, moving from scrum-half to the wing when Graham was replaced with his hat-trick.
Graham’s silky chip over the top made it possible for him to retrieve the ball and sprint under the posts while Graham’s clever support line made another profit from McDowall’s line break.
Rowe scored a second-half try first, but Dobie missed out on Van der Merwe’s pass to clinch the win.
Another entertaining sideshow features Graham and Van der Merwe continuing to compete for the title of Scotland’s all-time top try scorer.
Scotland know next week against the All Blacks will be a completely different level of Test match than against a USA team without players and with a club game in crisis, despite having every right to take away from a blistering performance.
What they said
With a brand-new team, the players were very cohesive, according to Scotland head coach Gregor Townsend, who immediately observed that this was difficult to achieve in a week of training.
We repeatedly asked for physicality and effort, and we did it for the majority of the game, both when the ball came in contact and when we had to defend. In the end, we were aggressive and disciplined.
“The players really put forth a lot of effort for one another.” There was a huge audience tonight, which is fantastic because they saw our strengths. We have undoubtedly some very talented members on our team.
Jamie Dobie, a Scotland back, says, “Fun is one of the words to describe that. We didn’t go off the script, which is why we scored 80 points because we followed the plan.
The most enjoyable aspect of keeping them scoreless is. Prior to the game, and even more so after halftime, it was a significant focus.
Line-ups
Scotland: Rowe, Graham, Smith, McDowall (c), Van der Merwe, Hastings, Dobie, Sutherland, Harrison, Rae, Cummings, Sykes, McConnell, Richardson, Dempsey, and Graham.
