Her baby son was stillborn at six months in 2010 and Lily Allen became emotional while discussing it on The Jonathan Ross Show.
However,
while Lily called losing a child 'the most unfortunate thing that can
ever happen to a person,' the brave 29-year-old singer praised her
loving husband Sam Cooper for helping her to get through her darkest
days.
Speaking
on the show, which will air at 9.45 on ITV on Saturday, Lily 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.'
She went on
to add: '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.
Lily
and builder Sam tied the knot in Gloucestershire in June 2011 after a
two-year courtship and have daughters Ethel, two and Marnie, who will
turn two in January.
Revealing:
The singer talked about the difficult time she went through after her
baby died but praised her husband Sam Cooper for getting her through it
However, the singer revealed she and Sam would love to have more children and she admitted she wants a son.
She
said: 'Yes… I'd love a boy.' Lily also joked: '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.'
The
performer recently took her daughters on tour in America with her told
Jonathan, '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!'
Lily
caused controversy when it was revealed the happily married star has
joined the dating app Tinder but she clarified that she uses it as a way
to interact with fans and people all over the world.
Allen
explained: 'I don't meet up with people, I just talk to people on it…
You can have a chat situation and you know, sometimes I am away, if I'm
in Australia or Los Angeles and there's no one up that I know to talk to
on the phone sometimes I'm just like, 'actually yes, you look quite fun
to have a little chat'… but nothing sinister.
'My
biography on the app basically says 'I'm a recording artist, I travel
around the world, I'm married, I have two beautiful girls…' at the end
it says 'some of my photos are now and current and some are of when I
looked significantly hotter and younger…' It's not a hooking up thing.'
Lily supported Miley Cyrus on her US tour and admitted being a supporting artist was strange for her.
New beginnings: Lily recently
supported Miley Cyrus on tour and admitted it was a strange experience
not to be headlining her own show
She
said: 'She asked me to come and support her which was weird, I've never
supported anybody, I've been very lucky since the very start of my
career I've always been able to sell out concerts on my own and I've
never had to do that side of things but… I'm at a point now where I just
want to develop my craft and do the best that I possibly can do and
quite frankly being in an arena full of screaming teenage Americans that
have no idea who you are is kind of the best experience you can get
because you have to learn how to work the room.'
Lily was joined on the show by Frank Skinner, Natalie Dormer, Lorraine Kelly and Stanley Tucci.
The Jonathan Ross' Show airs Saturday at 9.45pm on ITV.
