Lily Allen has lashed her husband with praise for helping her cope with the death of her still-born son.

The singer thanked "loving partner" Sam Cooper for his support when she struggled to deal with her stillbirth back in November, 2010.

Speaking in an emotional interview on ITV's The Jonathan Ross Show, she explained: "I think it's difficult for anybody regardless of what world they live in and actually what I took home from that experience was ... even though it was the most unfortunate thing that can ever happen to a person, I was very fortunate in the sense that I have a loving partner to go home to and share that experience with."

Now she says that the tragic ordeal has taught her to "count her blessings".

"There are many women - [there are] 17 stillbirths in the UK every day - that go home and they don't have that support, they have to go home and deal with that on their own so I am kind of in a bit of a... count-my-blessings scenario."

Lily also hit out at the critics who claimed she had more interest in partying than her family when she was saw hanging out with Chris Martin.

"The way that they had sort of insinuated it was that, 'She's a mother of two, abandoning her children'. I'm in a car with a father-of-two and at no point has anyone alluded to him abandoning his children! There is a double standard."

'The Jonathan Ross Show' airs at 9.45pm tomorrow on ITV.
