Fans don't recognise Lily Allen as she looks 'completely different' on The Jonathan Ross Show

Lily Allen wowed as she took a place on Jonathan Ross' famous sofa with fellow singing superstars on Saturday night (April 1). Lily, who shot to fame in 2006 with the massive hit Smile, is known for her signature dark hair.

But fans said she looked completely different on The Jonathan Ross Show as she stepped out sporting a short creamy blonde bob. Her stylish new blunt haircut had some viewers doing a double take as they failed to recognise her at first.

The star looked stunning in a black lace detail dress as she was interviewed by the ITV chat show host. Lily, 37, also laughed and chatted with fellow guests Ed Sheeran and Michael Buble.

And @ronan367 said: "Didn’t recognise Lily Allen #jonathanross." @l_oc81 exclaimed: "Wouldn’t know Lily Allen! #TheJRShow." @Claireyalli said: "Lily Allen looks completely different." And @KarenlovesGB remarked: "How good does Lily Allen look #JRS."

As they discussed their songs and Michael revealed he was a big fan of both Ed and Lily, The Fear singer joked to Jonathan that "Lily Allen is banned in our house" and she added that the only time her music gets played is "when I'm drunk."

The mum-of-two, who is married to Stranger Things actor David Harbour, said she met her husband on the celebrity dating app Raya. However she had no idea who he was and had at first thought he was a 'sexy policeman' from a reality show because he had used a photo of himself as police chief Jim Hopper in the science fiction drama.

"I landed on his profile and pressed accept," she explained. I didn't know who he was. I thought he was just a sexy policeman from a reality TV show."

The British hitmaker, who now lives in New York, was asked by Jonathan if she had ever done a reality show and she said she'd been approached to appear on I'm A Celebrity ...Get Me Out Of Here! "The money was good. It took a lot for me to turn it down," she admitted.

She lit up when Perfect and Shape Of You singer-songwriter Ed said the jungle contest would be the reality show he'd go for. "It looks quite fun. I do like the idea of it," he said. "Let's do it!" Lily encouraged.
