Lily Allen has announced that she is pregnant.

The 25-year-old singer, who is expecting her first child with boyfriend Sam Cooper, is three months down the line according to scan results, reports PA.

The 'Smile' singer said: "It brings me great pleasure to tell you that Sam and I are expecting our first child. It goes without saying that we are both absolutely delighted."
