Lily Allen 'spiraling' as she 'confirms' split from husband David Harbour

Lily Allen says mental health is 'spiralling' as she takes rest from BBC podcast.

Lily Allen has announced she is taking a break from her BBC podcast Miss Me?, citing poor mental health and a “tough period” in her life.

Speaking on a newly released episode, she said: “You’re not going to hear me for a few weeks, listeners.”

Discussing awards ceremonies with co-host Miquita Oliver, she said: “I’m finding it hard to be interested in anything. I’m really not in a good place. I know I’ve been talking about it for months, but I’ve been spiralling and spiralling and spiralling, and it’s got out of control.”

She said she had suffered panic attacks, and as a result was forced to leave recent social engagements early.

She added: “There will be speculation, because of the amount of time that I’m going to be taking away, that I’m going to drug rehab, and I’m not. I’ve not relapsed.”

The mum-of-two said she's taking a step back from the world of showbiz for a few weeks after seeing malicious content about her online, something she blames on our phones "not doing us any good".

Since her marriage to Stranger Things actor Harbour, 49, in 2020, Allen has performed on the West End stage in 2:22 A Ghost Story and appeared in Sky series Dreamland.

At the end of 2024, rumours began that the singer and the Stranger Things actor had parted ways, after he was reported on the dating app Raya. 

The couple were last reported to be living in a townhouse in Brooklyn, New York.
