Pete and Lily: New Best Friends!

Lily Allen seems to have forged a surprise friendship with Pete Doherty - the man she once slated.

Just last month the outspoken pop poppet said of the Babyshambles frontman: I do think he has to be exterminated. It is a bit dull, isn't it? I've always been surrounded by smackheads anyway. It's like, 'Get over it."

However the pair looked liked theyd let bygones be bygones at Sundays Get Loaded In The Park festival in London.

Not only did Pete sing a verse from Lilys hit Smile during the Babyshambles set, we hear that Ms Allen stuck around to hear it.

Our well-placed MTV.co.uk source said, Lily kept passing Pete drinks and cigarettes while she danced at the edge of the stage during the set " they seemed quite pally.

It was a good weekend all round for Pete " new mates, storming stage set and reportedly a new million pound record deal with Parlophone .

A spokesman for Get Loaded also told us that Pete, who was driven to the fest by police escort, didnt let the excitement go to his head.

He was rushed straight off stage and whisked back to the Priory, were told.

Marvellous
