Lily Allen and her husband Sam Cooper are reportedly not in the best of places at the moment.

Lily recently returned to prominence with her new album “Sheezus” but has caused friction between herself and Sam by being exceptionally outspoken in recent interviews and wearing revealing outfits on stage.

A source told Closer magazine: "It's no secret that Lily and Sam aren't in the best place. He's proud of Lily, but fears he's sometimes at the bottom of her list of prioritises.”

To add friction to the situation, Lily has been spotted with her ex-boyfriend Seb Chew though friends insist that he is only offering her advice on her music.

"Lily's priority will always be her family, but she was in a different place when she got with Sam - she was done with showbiz and wanted marriage and babies. But she realised she was unhappy and has worked hard to get back into the charts," the insider continued.

"Sam loves Lily to bits, but he can't help feeling she's rejected a part of their lives together."
