Lily Coming To The Telly

Lilly Allen is getting her own TV show for BBC3 next year.

The singer, who first gained success on MySpace, will base her new show on the social networking phenomenon.

Viewers will shape the show online by becoming her virtual friends and contributing to topical discussions, putting questions to guests and even presenting parts of the show.

The audience will consist entirely of Allen’s online friends, who will also have exclusive access to behind-the-scenes footage of the show and will be able to sign up to have highlights sent directly to their mobile phones.

The show will feature celebrity guests, topical people from the online world, bands and unsigned acts chosen by members of the Allen network.

A Lilly Allen and Friends website will give each member a profile from which they can access and comment on the show, while it will also follow the progress of the new music acts showcased on the programme.

Why would Lily wanna do this show???

She says, “I’m so excited that BBC3 are giving me this chance. It’s something I intend to have lots of fun with and I have some great ideas for the show.”

Doesn’t this signal a bad sign for her music career if Lily is doing this TV thingy???
