Lily Allen 'writing Bridget Jones score'

Lily Allen has apparently come out of "retirement" to write the score for the Bridget Jones musical next year.

According to The Sun, the 25-year-old singer - who announced that she was leaving the music industry earlier this year - will pen 12 songs for the show.

"It's a huge deal and a huge job. Lily's not on a roll yet as she's only finished one but she has a lot of ideas," a source claimed.

Allen recently confirmed that she is planning a new career in the fashion industry but will also embark on other projects.
