Her publicist said: "Lily Allen is back in hospital, where she is being treated for septicemia. She is responding well to treatment and her condition continues to improve. Lily thanks everyone for their messages of support and again asks that she and partner Sam Cooper be left alone whilst she recovers."

Allen had indicated she was not well to fans on her Twitter site Friday.

She tweeted: "I'm still very sick but the messages are helping me to be stronger. Thank you xx."

A week earlier, she had tweeted: "Say a little prayer x."

A spokesman later revealed the couple had lost their baby.

Friends and fans of Allen, who had a miscarriage when she was dating Chemical Brothers star Ed Simons in 2008, sent messages of support.
