Allen shoots video despite 'US ban'

Lily Allen is shooting a music video in the US - despite an apparent ban from working in the country.

Earlier this week it emerged the singer's work visa was taken as she tried to enter the country because of an alleged incident involving a photographer.

However, she was photographed on location in LA on Wednesday filming for her next single.

The Daily Mail cites insiders saying she was given special permission in the form of an O-1 visa. It is said to allow those with "extraordinary skills" in various fields to work temporarily.
