Lily Allen gets second series of show

Singer Lily Allen has been given a second series of her BBC3 chatshow.
'Lily Allen and Friends' has been attracting about 300,000 viewers, an increase from its 173,000 people at the start of March.
BBC has now commissioned eight more episodes of the show.
Allen said: "I'm thrilled we're going to make a second series of the show, it's been such a laugh."
"I want to say a huge thank you to everyone who tuned in, and I can't wait to film series two."
BBC3 Controller Danny Cohen said: "I'm delighted 'Lily Allen and Friends' will be returning for a second series."
"Lily is a star. She has developed astoundingly well as a TV host in just a few weeks and has established herself as a firm favourite with the young audiences BBC3 targets."
Allen's guests in the current series of the show included Mark Ronson, Cuba Gooding Jr, Lacey Turner and Louis Walsh.
