Lily Allen has checked into an £8,000-a-week trauma treatment centre after telling friends she was close to a nervous breakdown after the collapse of her marriage. The Mail on Sunday can reveal that the singer’s mental health deteriorated significantly after she returned from holiday to her marital home in New York last week – having split from her husband, the Stranger Things actor David Harbour, in December after discovering he was using the celebrity dating app Raya.
While she was at their Brooklyn townhouse, I am told that Lily felt ‘triggered’ by the thought of him being elsewhere in the city with another woman. A source said: ‘It was very painful for Lily to return home. David used to be her saviour and now he’s a trigger for her. Lily settled her kids back into the family home and took them to school for their new term, then flew herself straight to rehab. She went a day earlier than intended as she felt wobbly and desperate to escape.’.
She will spend several weeks at the residential retreat in the US where she is expected to take part in intensive group counselling sessions and one-on-one therapy in which she will be urged to ‘unpack’ her emotions. Cocooned from the outside world – having surrendered her mobile phone – she will also be encouraged to eat healthily and take walks in the countryside.
