Lily Allen has tweeted her displeasure at being dubbed the "little Fat Controller" by new husband Sam Cooper.

Allen, who is seven months pregnant, has been tweeting updates about her pregnancy from the account MrsLRCooper.

Last week she tweeted: "I can't cross my legs any more, is that normal?"

And now it seems the size of the bump has prompted her husband to come up with a new nickname.

Allen wrote today: "My husband just called me his "little fat controller" like off of Thomas the Tank Engine , so not LOL."

Lily Allen speaks about miscarriage

It seems the 'Smile' star is finding Twitter a useful instrument for staving off any boredom that might come with resting throughout pregnancy.

The once avid socialite has recently written tweets including: "I can see nipples on the Daybreak weather girl" and "I'm so bored, I've been watching ER DVDs for 2 weeks straight, I'm on my 8th Christmas today !"

Allen married Cooper in June. In November last year, the couple announced that Allen had suffered a miscarriage six months into a pregnancy. It was her second miscarriage, after she suffered one in 2008 with her then partner, Ed Simons of Chemical Brothers.
