The 22-year-old singer was seen shopping in west London with her Chemical Brothers DJ boyfriend, Ed Simons, 37, for the first time since it was reported she had lost her unborn child.

Lily suffered a miscarriage after returning home from a romantic break in the Maldives with boyfriend Ed. She is thought to have been three months' pregnant.

And despite the tragedy, brave Lily and Ed attempted to distract themselves with a spot of retail therapy in Notting Hill.

The couple spent several hundred pounds at upmarket French store Aim, which sells a range of Parisien fashion and homewares.

The pop star plans to press on plans to start filming the pilot for her new TV show.

The singer will record BBC3's "Lily Allen And Friends" tomorrow, and the show will be screened next month.

The audience will be composed of "friends," and also celebrity friends and new bands from her page on social networking website MySpace.

A TV insider said: "She's incredibly low at the moment, but doesn't want to let her fans down.

"It will be a very upbeat night so in a way it's the tonic she needs."

A source close to the couple said at the time: "Lily and Ed are in a state of shock. The bad news has been really difficult for them to take and they are really heartbroken."

Allen and Simons met in September after a Chemical Brothers gig in Trafalgar Square and announced they were expecting a baby in December.

Allen's second album is due out later this year.
