British pop singer Lily Allen got married in a quiet ceremony in the English countryside, which became a double celebration when her new husband Sam Cooper revealed that she was pregnant again.

The 26-year-old Grammy-nominated artiste was escorted into the church in Cranham, south­west England, by her actor father Keith Allen, while a crowd of well-wishers cheered her outside.

In his wedding speech, Mr Cooper – her partner since 2009 – announced that they were having a baby.

The news came just seven months after Ms Allen suffered her second miscarriage, and prompted cheers from the nearly 100 guests, who included comedian Harry Enfield and television presenter Angus Deayton.
