Lily Allen has been dumped just weeks after suffering a miscarriage. Chemical Brother Ed Simons and the ‘Smile’ singer had been dating a little over a month before Lily discovered she was pregnant. However after the devastating miscarriage at the New Year, the five-month relationship hit the rocks as the pair battled their grief.

A $6000 a-night holiday in the Maldives did little to fix the problem and after a series of bitter rows, Ed told Lily, “It’s over”.

A pal of Lily’s confirmed: “They tried to make things work but couldn’t. The miscarriage was a horrible experience for both of them – and in recent weeks the mood between them had been really strained. Lily is really upset things haven’t worked out for her and Ed. She had talked about settling down for good and having a family. But there is a big age difference and the heartbreak they had to cope with was too much too early in their relationship.”

Poor Lily. I just want to give the girl a big hug. Let’s hope the coming year brings her better fortune…
