Lily Allen to get her own TV show

Yahoo! Music, Aug 10, 2007 3:00 pm PDT
Lily Allen is to get her own BBC TV show next year.

The star, currently dealing with visa problems in the USA, has been in talks with broadcasters, reports London's The Sun.

Allen met with BBC3 boss Danny Cohen last week, and BBC insiders have since confirmed they are keen to sign the singer up.

A BBC source said that they would be working with Allen after she finishes recording her new album, which is scheduled to be completed by May next year.

The news follows a string of TV appearances from Allen, including being a guest on Jonathan Ross's BBC chat show and gues-thosting Channel 4 show The Friday Night Project.
