Like all of us, Lily Allen is currently in lockdown. But she’s also celebrating the fact that she’s now nine months sober! She marked the occasion with her 1.2 million followers, sharing a lockdown selfie with the caption, ‘9 months sober and the beginning of an ab is appearing’, she wrote. ‘Very pleased. Still can’t make my bed though.’

Lily has been quite open about her struggles with drugs and alcohol over the years. Back in 2018, she described her dependence on alcohol came from a decreased reliance on drug use. “I never really had been a drinker before’, she told GQ. ‘I always had been a drug taker, and the drinking was an accessory to doing drugs. I realised, ‘Oh, f**k, I haven’t taken any drugs for ages, but I’m drinking a lot.’ I was drinking a bottle of Grey Goose a day. It was really bad. I lost my house and my kids started to feel really distant and I broke up with my husband and started to realise [drinking] probably wasn’t working.”

She had also talked a lot about her struggles in her book, My Thoughts Exactly. Revealing that Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow had encouraged her to seek help. Now, Lily and her partner, actor David Harbour, are in lockdown with her children Marnie and Ethel. There’s also rumours that the pair are engaged (look closely at that pic and you might spot the engagement ring), but neither have actually confirmed or denied the rumours.

Fair play to her, congrats Lily!
