Lily Allen is keen to buy a vintage-inspired pram for her baby daughter Ethel.

Lily Allen wants to buy a vintage pram for her baby daughter.

The 'Smile' singer - who gave birth to Ethel Mary, her first child with husband Sam Cooper, in July - expressed an interest in a custom-made Flutterbys pram, which features an embroidered canopy and a deep-set bed.

Posting a link to the pram on her twitter page, she asked her followers: "are these a bit much ?(sic)"

are these a bit much ?(sic)

When her friend, columnist Grace Dent responded "yes", Lily wrote back: "too late, i'm sold.(sic)"

In the description of the made-to-order pram - which is priced from £200 - it claims to be a "definite headturner" and advises mothers to "get ready for the compliments!".

Lily, who now spends most of her time in her country house in Gloucestershire, has remained largely out of the limelight for the last year, and did not even disclosed the name of her daughter - it was only revealed when her mother Alison Owen wrote it on her Facebook page.

Following the birth of baby Ethel in November, Lily thanked fans and well-wishers for their congratulations.

She wrote on twitter: "thank you for all the flowers and lovely messages everybody. very touching indeed.
