Lily Allen shares rare picture of daughter Ethel as home-schooling continues

Lily Allen shared a super sweet picture of her eldest daughter Ethel, as she continues to homeschool both of her children.

The singer, 34, posted the adorable selfie of her and Ethel, eight, on Instagram.

The picture sees Allen, in a striped t-shirt, smiling for the camera, while Ethel clutches a pencil and workbook.

“Back2Homeschool,” the caption reads.

Allen has two children, Ethel and seven-year-old Marnie, from her relationship with Sam Cooper.

The former couple married in 2011 and welcomed their two daughters before splitting mid-2015.

Their divorce was finalised in July 2018 and the exes have joint custody of their two children.

Most schools in the UK were due to reopen for their summer terms this week but in light of the coronavirus pandemic, they will remain closed.

BBC Bitesize has come to the rescue with a series of celebrity-fronted lessons including geography from Sir David Attenborough and history from a famous Royal - Danny Dyer.

Footballer Sergio Aguero is also teaching Spanish lessons for kids on the BBC Bitesize website.

It remains unclear when schools will reopen as lockdown rules remain in force in the UK and Ireland.
