Dressed in a smart black suit, a pair of killer heels and with a cheeky fag in her hand 23-year-old Lily looked a far cry from the drunken girl we’ve grown to love. Then after just forty-five minutes she upped and left and made her way across town to the Dorchester hotel to collect a BMI Award.

Honoured for her song-writing skills Lily accepted the prestigious industry award, which recognises the most played songs on US radio and television, for her track Smile. But aside from the award we hear she has yet another reason to smile after finally receiving a visa to work in the US, “It means I can go on tour there and finish off what I started which is something I've wanted to do for a long time.”
