This Morning fans were left surprised as Lily Allen made a rare appearance on the ITV daytime show. The singer-turned-actress was live in the studio to chat to Holly Willoughby and her new co-host Joel Dommett alongside Freema Agyeman about their new Sky comedy.
The pair are starring opposite each other in upcoming series Dreamland, a comedy-drama about secrets, lies, loves and aspirations within a family of four sisters, all set in the British seaside town of Margate. Kicking off their chat, Holly asked Lily and Freema: "So just explain who you are..."
"My character is called Mel," Lily replied before turning to her co-star. "And my character's called Trish," Freema laughed before Holly elaborated on the story. "Trish is the older sister, isn't she?" Holly said. "So she's pregnant with her third child at the moment. So, she's kind of this tour de force, really - very, very passionate about her kids their entire lives."
Referring to Lily, she added: "You on the other hand have been in Paris." She replied: "I have. I've been in Paris, doing something in fashion. And have sort of found myself back in Margate, not really that happy about it... I've kind of enjoyed Paris, but yeah, then chaos sort of ensues."
But This Morning viewers couldn't help but be distracted by Lily, who looked gorgeous in an oversized grey jumper which she teamed with a metallic long skirt and knee-length blue boots. She also showed off her new hair transformation after ditching her signature dark locks for a short blonde bob.

@WorfDelm2016 commented: "Lily Allen doesn't look like Lilly Allen. #thismorning." @Gobbyn0rthener posted: "I can't believe how different lily Allen looks #ThisMorning." But another, @bachelorettem, observed: "Lily Allen doesn't look like she wants to be there #thismorning."
