Heartbroken Lily Allen in hospital with blood poisoning

SINGER Lily Allen is receiving treatment in hospital for blood poisoning just days after suffering her second miscarriage. The 25-year-old singer, below, was said to be responding well and has thanked fans for their messages of support.

Allen was six months pregnant when she lost her baby last week.

Her publicist said: "Lily Allen is back in hospital, where she is being treated for septicaemia. She is responding well to treatment and her condition continues to improve.

"Lily thanks everyone for their messages of support and again asks that she and partner Sam Cooper be left alone whilst she recovers."

Friends of the star, who had a miscarriage when she was dating Chemical Brothers musician Ed Simons in 2008, sent messages of support to the singer.

Myleene Klass tweeted: "Lily Allen and her partner Sam. I am so truly sorry and sad for you both and your family."

Emma Bunton wrote: "Thinking of Lily Allen and her partner at this very sad time. Sending them lots of love."
