Lily made the move in 2020 along with her two daughters, who she shares with ex-husband Sam Cooper.

It was there that she recently discovered she has adult ADHD, telling The Times: "It sort of runs in my family. And it's only because I'm here in America where they take these things slightly more seriously than they do in England.

"I went to see someone and they said, 'Have you ever thought about this?' And I said, 'Well, yes I have,'."

Adults with ADHD are more likely to experience depression, anxiety and feelings of low self-esteem.

There is no cure and what causes ADHD is also unknown.

Lily also discussed her life in the US, and living away from her dad, actor Keith Allen, and Game of Thrones actor brother Alfie.

She said: "I live quite a separate life from everybody now that I'm over here in America. I'm a bit of a loner, a bit of an isolationist."

However, Lily has been back on British soil this week promoting her first TV role in comedy series, Dreamland, with husband David proudly by her side at the premiere.

Sharon Horgan directed the six-part comedy series, which will see Lily's character Mel, 32, navigating the dynamics of a multi-generational family.

Mel travels to visit her sister in Margate, Kent, ahead of a family baby shower.

Shortly after Mel and her sisters attempt to manifest a baby girl for their eldest pregnant sister, Mel discovers she is pregnant herself.
