Lily Allen spotted ‘on a date' with Netflix star James Norton months after David Harbour split
Lily Allen was spotted enjoying a 'first date'with actor James Norton at a festival over the weekend.
Onlookers said Lily, 40, appeared smitten with newly single James, 39, who split from his model girlfriend last month.
The pair, who both use celebrity dating app Raya, were spotted together at the Lido Festival in East London throughout Saturday.
They shunned VIP areas to watch artists together, including Charli XCX.
An eyewitness told The Sun: 'Lily and James appeared to be on a date. They were together for the day and were chatting and laughing together as they watched Charli XCX.
'Lily was leaning into him at one point. She and James seemed really relaxed together and she was really making him giggle.
'They were drinking non-alcoholic beer and queued at the bar like all the other punters. People were doing double-takes when they saw them together.
'Because they're both on Raya it seems like they might have matched with each other.
'And Lido is a great first date because there is so much to do.'
Pop star Lily split from her Stranger Things actor husband David Harbour, 50, last year.
The mum of two reactivated her Raya account after the break-up. She joked in her profile that she was 'looking for someone to start couples therapy with'.
Happy Valley star James briefly dated model Charlotte Rose Smith, 25, but they quietly ended their romance this year. Last month his profile was also spotted on Raya, with a handful of pictures.
James was engaged to actress Imogen Poots, 36, but the pair split in 2023.
He hinted their break-up was not his doing,
Lily has thrown herself into work since her marital split — including a starring role in a new adaptation of Hedda Gabler at Bath's Theatre Royal.
She had a pop at her exes earlier this year, saying: 'I don't think there has been one person that has been remotely interested in my pleasure.'

Mariah Carey's wild backstage demands revealed by radio hosts
Mariah Carey's extravagant diva demand at Capital's Summertime Ball with Barclaycard has come to light. The Hero songstress, 56, is notorious for her OTT behaviour and, ahead of her stint onstage in London, she lived up to expectations. Previously, it was revealed how US legend Mariah sleeps with a whopping 20 humidifiers in her room and how she allegedly demanded a rider filled with 20 white kittens and 100 white doves. Reverting to type at the Capital radio event, British TV and radio presenter Sian Welby, 38, let slip the backstage detail exclusively to The Sun. 'We will do what we're told. When it comes to Mariah, she is the boss. She's changed the whole dressing room to just be called Mimi's World,' she revealed. 'Doesn't even have Capital branding anymore. It's all her zone.' Tipping the other end of the scale, her co-host, Chris Stark, added: 'Will Smith by the way is the most chilled, like he's just wandering around. 'He was in catering, he just went and sat himself down and got himself some food. 'It's incredible, he's so chilled.' Matching her impressive backstage set-up was her vocals live onstage. She closed the show with her hit, We Belong Together, after belting out classics Fantasy and Emotions. Fans were quick to take to X to praise Mariah's vocals and one put: 'What a show … Mariah Carey LIVE in the UK!!' A second added: 'Mariah's mic was ON and she sounded and looked amazing! Perfect finish!' A third wrote: 'Mariah looks and sounds so divine I could cry.' Mariah's moments The star's diva demands and confessions have gone down in the showbiz history books. Recently, she said she shunned acknowledgment of her birthdays and said: 'I don't count years, but I definitely rebuke them – I have anniversaries, not birthdays, because I celebrate life, darling.' Mariah is also renowned for her super slim-fitting clothing choices, often accessorised with towering heels. And she has strong opinions on flats and said: 'I can't wear flat shoes. My feet repel them,' she said. Previously she told of her selfie rule to Buzzfeed and confessed: 'I don't need to take a selfie with someone from their bleak angle; I don't care for that.' Also, there's a reason why she always in shades: 'I have a rule which states that I will not be seen in fluorescent lighting without sunglasses. 'I know it's very nineties.'
