Lily Allen has spoken more about her split from David Harbour, revealing that she feels “incredibly low” in New York.
The singer, 40, moved to the city to be closer to the Stranger Things star - but now Allen has said she’s found keeping busy tough, as she is also off social media.
Speaking on her podcast Miss Me to co-host Miquita Oliver, she said: “I'm nearly two weeks into a complete social media ban.
“The beginning of last week I was feeling incredibly low, like lower than I've felt in months. It was extremely heavy.
“And then I realised maybe this is because I'm not filling the gaps with doom scrolling and I've suddenly got this time for like reflection, you know what I mean.”
The mum-of-two added that she feels like she “doesn’t have that much to do here in New York during the day”.
“I guess I would find myself sitting on Instagram and scrolling or being narcissistic and posting or reading my responses and getting that dopamine fix.
“'And I haven't had it for nearly two weeks and I think it made me initially really sad.
“I think I was having withdrawal symptoms. It was horrible, I mean, I really did feel like I was withdrawing from drugs or something, it was crazy.
“But it took me a minute to think, 'oh yeah it was probably that’.”
Allen and Harbour split in December - five years after tying the knot in Las Vegas - amid claims they had been living separate lives for months.
The Not Fair singer met Harbour on the celebrity dating app Raya in 2019, and they enjoyed a whirlwind romance, marrying in Las Vegas the following year.
The couple moved from London to the United States.
Allen has spoken openly about fears of a "nervous breakdown" following the breakup, saying: "I am not over it. I am sort of running away."
In January, it was reported the couple had split shortly before Christmas, ahead of a planned family trip to Kenya.
It had previously been reported Allen is reportedly planning to return her two daughters - who she shares with ex-husband Sam Cooper - to a new school in London after previously enrolling them in New York.
