The recently married singer also revealed how her and husband David Harbour came into each other's lives: “We met in a dressing room area of a chat show.”

When asked about married life, she added: “You know, it’s kind of fab. I can’t complain. My husband is a delight and I’m feeling pretty good these days.”

The newlyweds tied the knot in September last year in a low-key ceremony in Las Vegas. Allen wore a Sixties-inspired Dior dress paired with a veil.

The couple were married by an Elvis impersonator and were joined by Allen’s daughters Ethel and Marnie. The pair then kept their reception intimate, eating takeaway burgers at In-N-Out.

The Smile singer gave up alcohol just over a year and a half ago.

Recently, the singer revealed that she has also given up smoking. Replying to a question on Instagram stories, asking how she’s finding life since she ditched the cigarettes she said:

“Yeah. It's been like four and a half months. Not bad.”

As for the upsides about being teetotal, she said: 'Probably just knowing that I didn't sit in someone's living room till 7am talking absolute s**t, chewing their ear off and being generally embarrassing and offensive.'
