Lily Allen on stillbirth: 'I don't feel sorry for myself'
Lily Allen has opened up about giving birth to a stillborn son three years ago.
The singer spoke about her sad experience during an interview on The Jonathan Ross Show.



Allen said: "I think it's difficult for anybody regardless of what world they live in and actually what I took home from that experience was...
"Even though it was the most unfortunate thing that can ever happen to a person, I was very fortunate in the sense that I have a loving partner to go home to and share that experience with."
An emotional Allen continued: "There are many women - [there are] 17 stillbirths in the UK everyday - that go home and they don't have that support, they have to go home and deal with that on their own so I am kind of in a bit of a - since that happened - in a count my blessings scenario rather than feeling sorry for myself."
The singer went on to speak about her children, saying: "My kids were just on tour with me… Seven weeks in America and they were on the tour bus with me. Woah, 27 hours from Atlanta to New York with two kids under three... wicked!"


She also discussed having more kids, revealing: "Yes… I'd love a boy and I'd also like another girl just so I can call her Auxiliary Jane… or Pizza, I quite like Pizza for a kid, or Mega Lolz that would be good. Megan Lolz."
Speaking about her future music plans, she said: "I'm really genuinely very excited, I feel like I'm in a very reflective and good place in my life and I can't wait to put it all down to music and feel it and share it with you all."
She continued to discuss the media's portrayal of her 'abandoning' her children, saying: "There is a double standard. And also it's completely false because my children are with me most of the time. 
"If there are photographers around, I make sure that I go in a different car because I don't want them to have guys with what look like guns pointing at them the whole time and chasing them."



Speaking about people's misconception of her, she said: "I don't know because I try not to read it, I don't really want to know what people's misconceptions are of me and the way that I do kind of look at it is, I do what I do for the people that do like me, not to prove a point to the people who don't." 
Allen appears on The Jonathan Ross Show on Saturday, November 8 at 9.45pm on ITV.
