No-one could say that Lily Allen hadn't had a hard year so far - so we're pleased to announce that she has reportedly got a new beau.

The 22-year-old Smile singer has apparently got close to another musician, Robertson Furze, whom reports say she has known for years.

The pair have been seen out and about having a whale of a time, and Lily reportedly moved in as a housemate of the singer and guitarist a month ago.

"Lily has been through a tough time this year. She split from Ed only weeks after they lost their baby and she has been feeling incredibly down about it," a source told the Sun.

"Her TV show has been struggling too. She has known Robbie for years and he was there when things went wrong with Ed."

However, it seems that her relationship with Robbie, as the lucky lad is known to his friends, has become more than just platonic.

"She moved in with him a few weeks ago and they have been sharing a bed. It started off innocently but they are doing more than just cuddling now."
