Former hell-raiser Lily Allen has ditched her celebrity chums as she undergoes a detox regime and contemplates a new life as a lady of the manor in the Cotswolds, west-central England.
The singer, 25, wants to settle down and start a family with builder boyfriend Sam Cooper, and a close friend says: "She has deleted the numbers of her showbiz friends from her phone. Lily says she wants no part of the party stuff that goes with being in the public eye, and she wants to concentrate on starting a family. She believes the only way to start afresh is to cut all ties with her old showbiz mates. She prefers to hang out with Sam's non-famous friends."
Allen and Cooper are house-hunting in Gloucestershire, searching for the perfect rural retreat after the singer told friends she was tired of life in London.
"Lily loves Gloucestershire and would like a house close to her father Keith in Stroud. She loves spending time there and has finally persuaded Sam to move out of London," says a friend.
