Lily Allen has reportedly saved more than £15,000 fitting out her new home because of friend Camilla al Fayed.
According to the Mirror, Camilla managed to persuade dad Mohamed al Fayed, who owns Harrods, to let the singer have a discount on furniture and white goods purchased from the store.
A source told the newspaper: “Lily’s flat is lovely, but it helps when you’ve got friends in high places. When she told Camilla she was moving into her new place she jumped into action and asked her dad if he could help Lily out."
“Of course he said ‘yes’. He really likes Lily … they met when she opened the Harrods’ sale for him a couple of years ago and got on like a house on fire. He is always very generous with his friends."
“Not all of it was free, but he gave Lily a massive discount - well over half price - on household stuff that should have cost more than £30,000."
“She picked up things like washing machines and dishwashers to make her house completely top-of-the-range.”
Lily moved into her new home at the start of the month but writing on her blog, she warned wannabe burglars that they shouldn’t get too excited: “I’ve got metal roller blinds that go down at night and a panic button by my bed. No panic room though. Food for thought.”
