Lily Allen

Lily Allen has turned to Harry Potter star Rupert Grint following her recent split with DJ Ed Simons, say reports.

Grint offered the singer a "shoulder to cry on" over dinner at a London restaurant last week.

The pair first met each other at the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix premiere last summer.

A source told the Daily Star: "They swapped numbers then and although they texted each other quite regularly they didn't meet up.

"Then when Lily split from Ed, Rupert offered her a shoulder to cry on and she took it. They get on really well and he makes her laugh.

"Last week they enjoyed a Japanese meal together where they had a long intense talk as well as a few laughs."

Grint was recently reported to be dating Skins star Hannah Murray.
