Lily Allen "loves" new boyfriend Ed Simons

Lily Allen has admitted that she is in love with Chemical Brothers star Ed Simons.

The singer was asked about the secret behind her new slim figure at the Fashion Rocks event in the Royal Albert Hall this week. She credited "love" for her weight loss.

Lily started dating Ed, who is 15 years her senior, last month, shortly after splitting from her long-term boyfriend Seb Chew.

"I probably shouldn't say the word love," she added. "I'm in 'like'. We like each other a lot."

A source told the Daily Mail: "It's early days, but Lily is very serious about Ed. She doesn't see the age difference. You'd never know she's just come out of a long-term relationship, she's totally loved up and they've already discussed him sharing her new Queen's Park flat with her."
