Lily Allen has been forced to self-isolate after one of her daughters was exposed to coronavirus through a classmate.

The ‘Smile’ hitmaker - who has Ethel, nine, and Marnie, seven, with her ex-husband Sam Cooper - has said it’s “lucky” she’s already done the majority of her Christmas shopping, because she must now stay at home for two weeks to ensure none of her family members pick up the virus after she received an email from her children’s school telling them to self-isolate.
She wrote on Instagram: “When you get that Sunday night email telling you someone in your kids class has got Covid, so you’ll be needing to self isolate your child for two weeks. Lucky I haven’t got a f*** ton to do before Christmas!!!! (sic)”
And in a separate post, she added: “So glad, I’ve been super efficient with Christmas present shopping this year, NOT!!!!! (sic)”
The news comes after Lily previously took to social media to explain she was self-isolating after returning to the UK following her trip to Las Vegas, where she tied the knot with David Harbour in early September.
After her wedding - which was officiated by an Elvis Presley impersonator - it was reported Lily was keen to move to the US with David, but details of how she would co-parent her daughters with her ex-husband had not been decided.
Lily and Sam finalised their divorce in 2018 and currently share custody on a week-on, week-off basis, which will prove more difficult if she moves to the US.
A source said at the time: “There’s a lot to sort out, not least how she will co-parent. In the end one of them is going to miss out.”
