Lily Allen shares sweet video of her rarely seen daughters

Lily Allen has shared a sweet video of her rarely seen daughters from her marriage to Sam Cooper.

The pop star, 33, is mum to two girls, Ethel, seven, and Marnie, six, but she generally keeps her life as a parent out of the spot light.

Last night, she thrilled fans by giving them a glimpse at her girls, showing Ethel's long red hair and Marnie's adorably cheeky grin.

In the clip, Lily is sitting on the bed with Ethel as the younger sibling runs in and starts shouting "Mummy, Mummy, Mummy!" to get her attentions.

Lily and her elder daughter then burst out laughing as little Marnie gets a serious look on her face and says: "Seriously, I quit!"

The Smile singer split from the girls' dad, Sam Cooper, in 2015, and they finalised their divorce three years later.

They married in 2011, just months before the birth of their first child, but the marriage crumbled after just four years.

Lily later went on to claim she'd cheated on Sam during the marriage, and revealed she hit rock bottom as she attempted to make a career comeback after having kids.

She told Vulture : "I was 14 stone and I had to lose all that weight.

"I wasn't eating, I wasn't sleeping. I'd always been in control of my image, but I'd been a mum in slippers and a dressing gown for two years.

"I hired a team to dress me up with slick hair, nails, makeup; all harsh and pop star-y. I felt like I was in Alice in Wonderland . 'Who am I? What is all this? What are these songs? Why am I nowhere near my children?' Heh. 'Where's the vodka?'

Lily Allen teases surprising new career with sassy response to 'management drop'

"I lost my sense of self. I lost my identity. I was being a bad mum. I was being bad at my job. I'd wake up on a tour bus in the middle of Wisconsin and be so hung-over.

"I cheated on my husband. All I wanted to do was be with my kids. I wasn't even making any money," Lily confessed.

The mum of two had to hit rock bottom in order to find her way back - and lost almost everything in the process.

"I lost my marriage, I lost my house, I lost my mind.

"I literally had to hit rock bottom and build myself back up."
