Despite Shitty Ratings…

Filed under: TV News > Anglophilia > Lily Allen

Lily Allen's BBC talker has been given the green light for season two!

Lily says, "I'm thrilled that we're going to make a second series of the show, it's been such a laugh."

Too bad folks have been laughing AT her - not with her!

Allen's show opened to mixed reviews and blah ratings (just 255,000 viewers for the first episode). Figures fell to 173,000 at the beginning of last month.

But the figure has since crept up to 300,000 viewers for more recent episodes.

A BBC suit praised the Smile singer saying she's "developed astoundingly well as a TV host in just a few weeks".

After a crappy few months things are looking up for Lily!

Time to go out, pAArty and get fucked up to celebrate the good news - just like any other night for Allen.

      its a good thing you "like" Lily…who can imagine the awful, catty things you'd say about her if you didn't…"Laughing at her, not with her"????
      you are such a prick, fatty. you jealousy shimmers off your fat head like heat waves on the asphalt…you make me puke!

    25. Lauren says – reply to this


      25

      Perez, you of all people should know that publicity is publicity no matter what type!
      It doesn't matter if people are laughing with her or at her, the point is that they're tuning in and giving her ratings. What percent of the hits to your website do you think consist of people coming here to bitch about how much they hate you in the comments section? The better question is, do you really care as long as they're here and looking at the ads?

      GOD, you are such an ASSHOLE! How long did it take till you decided she was over her miscarriage and you could turn a positive news story into a bitch at this poor girl?

      You are a complete fucktard.

      be nice to lily perez ! :D
      she's going through a lot.
      and you actually like her.

    33. off the property says – reply to this


      33

      yeah, but 255,000 viewers is equal to at least 450,000 viewers in British viewers and, besides, the more Lily f*cks up the more everyone loves her… because f*cking up is what Lily does best!!! Lily is the best. Britain is the best. I know, cuz I live in LA!!!

      Re: off the property
      Remember, BBC3 is a digital channel. Not like the regular channels that add up to the millions.

      36

      Perez… for BBC3 Lily's show HAS been getting decent ratings. I'm not a 'fan' of hers but she's actually very watchable, and an intelligent host. I'm glad she's getting a second series.

      uuum have you SEEN her show??? HY-sterical. she's amazing.

      It's really sad that her life is such a mess because I really liked her album and thought she would be such a fun down to earth girl….oh well.

      I hate it when you call her "the smile singer"

      Dont ever do that again.

      41

      Dude, she's getting over a miscarriage and a failed relationship. Just because you think she should be over it by now, does not mean SHE is actually over it. While you may not think her coping mechanism is the most constructive, it's LILLY ALLEN'S life. Cut her some slack. You're such a beast sometimes.

      does anyone else think she looks exactly like rihanna in this picture? i literally saw rihanna on tv the other night with the same exact hair cut and style and the same color lipstick! at a glance i thought it was her!

      I live in the UK and watch the show. At first it was really bad but now it's really good. Especially when Mitch Hewer was on

      steady on Petez. I love Lily, hope her show gets a run on Australian TV too. So what, you're up Brits arse so far now that all we see are toenails, and Lily has taken her place? Just up until she gets suicidal right?

      45

      I watched it for the first time last night and thought it was good, she's quite slick for someone who's relatively new to presenting. I only watched it because it was on, but I would make a point of looking out for the new series. Alesha Dixon was brilliant, love her!

      I thought that was that umbrella girl (rianna?) at first. The hair and the bright pink lips. Time for a separated at birth!

      shes obviously got SOMETHING they liked if their bringing her back. She did just have a BAD break up aaannnnd not to mention she lost a child, how can someone be at their funniest during all that????
      I say she deserves a second chance to make us giggle, and if she ef's this shot up…
      well….
