LILY Allen risked the fury of mum shamers while revealing she flies first class while her kids are left alone in economy.
Singer Lily, 38, who shares daughters Ethel, 12, and Marnie, 11, with her ex-husband Sam Cooper, made the controversial confession during the latest episode her BBC podcast, Miss Me?
After surprising her childhood friend Miquita Oliver with a birthday cake, she revealed her plans to pay her a visit in London.
The Fear songstress, who is based in New York City, admitted she’d booked her eldest daughter at economy ticket while splurging on a first class seat for herself.
She said, “We are flying to London today to come and see you for your birthday. Me and that baby. I’m going in first class, she’s going in economy.”
Presenter Miquita joked, “You know what that is?” to which Lily asked: “Selfish?” before Miquita said: “The circle of life.

“That baby you had all those years ago is now coming to London, because you live in New York, for my 40th birthday, which we are having at the end of the road we grew up on, basically.”
Lily appears to be back on track with her second husband, the Stranger Things star David Harbour, 49.
But it appeared to be a very different story just a few months ago when she unfollowed him on Instagram.
The Sun revealed the couple, who got married four years ago in a whirlwind Las Vegas ceremony, had been living virtually separate lives for months.

Her gruelling schedule over the summer included a starring role in West End production The Pillowman, while he was back home in New York.
An insider said: “Lily and David have barely been together for the past three months and have been living separate lives.
“When she was in London for the Pillowman, David was spotted at one performance in July before Lily was left by herself.
“In her downtime, Lily would be with mates in London or her kids. When she went back to the US with them, there was no sign of David.”
Fans bombarded Lily with messages about the state of her marriage over the summer but she made light of their concerns.
When asked in August if they’d split, Lily, who has two daughters with ex-husband Sam, said: “Yes, I am divorced . . . from one marriage.
“But I am also in another marriage currently.”
