Singer says she's returned to work in the music industry because being a mum didn't give her anywhere to put her creativity
Lily Allen went back to work because she got bored staying at home with her children.
"I thought I'd be a really happy mum just sitting at home, playing with my kids. That was my dream," Lily told France's NRJ Radio, according to the Mail Online.
“I love my children but I'm a very impatient, busy person naturally so two babies – neither of them can talk – it was quite boring staying at home all day talking to people who can't talk back.
“I didn't realise how much of a creative person I am and that I need somewhere to put my creativity.”
