Lily Allen granted a US visa

Lily Allen has been granted a visa which means she can return to tour in America.

The singer was forced to cancel her US tour last year after immigration officers revoked her visa due to an incident with a paparazzi photographer.

The 'Smile' star told People at the BMI Awards: "I got my US visa today, yay.

"It means I can go and tour there and finish what I started, which is something I've wanted to do for a while."

Allen had said she never wanted to return to the United States after the incident, reportedly branding immigration officials "a bunch of w**kers".
