Lily Allen makes a rare social media appearance after sensationally deleting her account as she joins Mark Ronson and his protegé King Princess at her gig in New York
Lily Allen has made an unexpected return to social media after quitting Instagram last year, as she joined Mark Ronson at a show in New York.
The singer, 36, who left the platform last year after publicly shaming a takeaway pizza company, was seen chatting to musician King Princess in a snap Mark shared on his Instagram Stories.
In the image, Lily opted to wear an orange and grown checkerboard corduroy shirt and mustard long length skirt as she spoke to Princess backstage.

Lily’s accessorised her look with a burgundy velvet Chanel bag and blue and white tie dye fingerless gloves with the label on display in the image Mark took following the gig.
The two ladies were introduced to one another on the night through Mark, who Lily first worked with in 2007 on Kaiser Chief’s Oh My God.
Mark posted the picture of them chatting on his Instagram Stories, with the caption: ‘Hung with OGs,’ but it has since been deleted.

King Princess was Mark’s first signing to his record label Zelig and he had success with her single 1950s from the album Make My Bed.
Lily, who is currently living Stateside, has been keeping a low profile since being publicly spotted there in December, after dramatically quit Instagram last year.
The star took to her Story on Sunday night to share a snap of her pizza, writing in the caption: ‘Not impressed tbh’ before tagging the brand Pizza Pilgrims.
She then shared another screenshot of someone who had messaged her saying that her post ‘could end’ the company and that it was ‘brutal for the business’, before hitting back.

The follower wrote in their message: ‘Brutal to this business, publicly shaming them, yikes!’
Lily then replied: ‘They shouldn’t be in the business of making pizzas if this is what their dishing out. I paid for it, I’m well within my right to express my displeasure.’
The follower then said: ‘Totally, but you’ve got 1.1million followers with a lot of influence. Not to mention they’re probably trying to get back on their feet off the back of lockdowns and such. Maybe an inbox to their Instagram would be enough, a post like this could end them.’
Lily typed back: ‘1.5 million. And I think you’re actually more interested in telling a woman that she shouldn’t express her opinions than you are about this particular business. I get it, all the time, and I know it when I see it. Ask yourself if you’d tell a bloke the same?’
Opinions: Later she posted on her Stories: ‘If you think I shouldn’t complain about s**t on my platform, block, restrict or unfollow me,’ before dramatically quitting the platform
Later she posted another Story which read: ‘If you think I shouldn’t complain about s**t on my platform, block, restrict or unfollow me. The world is annoying as f**k sometimes, and I’m not here for all that ass kissing cloutathon nonsense. If you can’t call out a s**t pizza on here we’re all doomed.’
In the wake of her social media spat, Lily appeared to deactivate her account.
Meantime Lily’s husband David Harbour will soon return as Hawkins, Indiana sheriff Jim Hopper in Netflix’s wildly popular TV series Stranger Things.
The show’s fourth season is expected to debut in Summer 2022, with the season set in the Spring of 1986.
