    Pregnant Lily made the 5,000-mile journey to appear on stage with Pink for a secret show - with daughter Ethel in tow

    Pregnant Lily Allen made a 5,000-mile journey to LA for a secret gig with singer Pink - and admitted she 'can't wait' for her own return to the music scene. Lily, who recently announced she was recording again after retiring in 2009, flew out to LA to perform a duet of 'True Love' with Pink at an intimate gig for Sony Studies.

    As she made her surprise entrance on the stage, with baby bump visable under a purple dress, the lucky couple of hundred fans burst into applause.

    And it seems Lily - who brought along eight-month-old daughter Ethel on the whirlwind trip - enjoyed her return to the spotlight, saying: 'It was great, felt strange being back on stage again but Pink made me feel at ease.

    Speaking of the two artist's blossoming friendship, a source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: 'It was the first time they'd met, though they've spoken on the phone and emailed before. They're huge fans of each other's music, so Lily was thrilled when Pink asked her to get involved with her new album.

    'Lily is five months pregnant and Pink told her she couldn't believe how amazing Lily looked, and that she could still manage to wear heels while that far gone.

    'They were comparing notes about parenthood, too, as both their daughters are about the same age, and had a lengthy discussion about prams.
