Lily Allen revealed she's thrilled to win a top acting award after she recently returned to Instagram.
The popstar-turned-actress sensationally quit the social media sat following a row with a fan about a pizza restaurant.
Best known as a singer and songwriter, the 36-year-old Hammersmith born star has recently turned her hand to acting on-stage in theatre productions.
Last year she took the plunge in the world of acting when she portrayed the role of a woman who is convinced her house is haunted in 2:22 – A Ghost Story.
And last night her hard work paid off as she won best performer in a female identifying role in a play for the role at What's On Stage, while her co-star, former EastEnders actor Jake Wood, won best supporting performer in a male identifying role in a play. 2:22 – A Ghost Story.
The play that the two actors both star in was also named best new play.
Taking to Instagram to share a set of snaps, she penned: "Pleased as punch. Thank you @whatsonstage readers for voting for me. I am over the moon.
"Doing this play was a huge leap of faith and was absolutely terrifying to begin with, but ended up being one of the most enjoyable and rewarding experiences of my life."
Concluding: "I am honestly just so thrilled. Award Winning Actress!!!!"
Fans were quick to comment on the gong, with one writing: "I bloody knew it! SHE’S ARRIVED! #LilyTheActress."
Another then said: "Congratulations @lilyallen you deserve all the joy in the world x."
While a proud follower penned: "BRIT, Ivor Novello, Q, NME, Glamour, GQ, What’s On Stage Award winner Lily Allen has such a good ring to it."
Lily's win comes after the mother-of-two has been keeping a low profile in recent weeks after quitting Instagram following an online row with a fan.
Lily shared a picture of her disappointing takeaway pizza from Pizza Pilgrims on her Instagram stories, and wrote on the snap: “Not impressed tbh.”
She soon faced a barrage of backlash from fans, with one deciding to slam the star for sharing her opinion.
"Brutal to this business, publicly shaming them, yikes," they wrote.
Lily then replied: "They shouldn't be in the business of making pizzas if this is what their dishing out. I paid for it, I'm well within my right to express my displeasure."
The follower continued with their rant, saying that the singer-turned-actor had “lot of influence” and should have contacted Pizza Pilgrims privately to express her complaint.
“Maybe an inbox to their Instagram would be enough, a post like this could end them,” they added.
“If you think I shouldn't complain about s**t on my platform, block, restrict or unfollow me,” Lily fumed.
“The world is annoying as f**k sometimes, and I'm not here for all that ass kissing cloutathon nonsense. If you can't call out a s**t pizza on here we're all doomed,” she added, before seemingly deleting her account.
