Are you coming or going, Lily? More removal vans are spotted at the singer's flat after a very public row with the tenant who left so she could move back in
- Van seen yesterday outside pop singer's £2million home in North West London
- Allen had said she couldn't move in after tenants claimed 'diplomatic immunity'
- But Italian tenant said next day that she'd just asked to stay on for two extra days
- Allen bought it for £900,000 in 2008 and it now has £2,250-a-month rent value
A removal van has been seen at Lily Allen's home two weeks after her tenant branded her a 'hypocrite' for claiming she and her three children were refusing to leave.
Exclusive photographs show a Vauxhall Movano hire vehicle outside the 32-year-old pop singer's luxury £2million home yesterday in North West London.
Onlookers said the van was backed right up to the door and Allen's car was also on the driveway of the property, which she bought for £900,000 in 2008.

It comes after Allen said on December 4 that she was unable to move back into the property because her Italian tenants were claiming 'diplomatic immunity.'
But Italian tenant Maria Bilotta, 38, a photographer, told MailOnline the next day that she had just asked to stay on for two extra days.

The mother-of-three said: 'I'm very sorry I had her as a landlord because all this has happened. We are still living here today but we are leaving.'
In the now-deleted tweet that started the furore, Allen wrote: 'Meant to be moving back into my flat this week, but my tenants just dropped that they can't find anywhere to go up to their standards.
'Then they said they're diplomats and have diplomatic immunity and there's nothing I can do about it. So, who fancies a family of three for Xmas?'
Responding to that on December 5, tenant Mrs Bilotta said: 'I'm really astonished. I don't know why she did this. We are diplomats. But I don't want to make trouble to our embassy. This is so stupid. I can't believe this.'
Asked if she had anything to add, she said: 'No, because I would never sink so low.' Her husband Luca Bilotta, who arrived home on a scooter with Italian diplomatic plates, said: 'We were moving out anyway.
'This is exposing ordinary people to the magnitude of six million people. Things are not supposed to work like that. I am not a public figure. It's not on.'
Miss Allen, 32, bought the two-bedroom flat £900,000 in 2008. It has an estimated rental value of up to £2,250 per month.
The year before her purchase she talked on the BBC's This Week about money being a 'massive issue' and claimed she could not afford to buy a home in London.

'I've been doing what I do for a few years now, and I've been paid pretty well... but even I'm not in a position to buy a one-bedroom flat in the city I grew up in,' she said.

The millionaire singer later hit back on social media to those who accused her of hypocrisy, insisting she had 'no shame'.
Her plea came after the mother-of-two – the daughter of actor Keith Allen and sister to Game of Thones star Alfie Allen – sold her £4.2million Cotswolds mansion last year after she was hit by a hefty tax bill.
Her tweet resulted in a flurry of angry responses from her followers, with one branding her a 'champagne socialist' and others starting a '#prayforLily' hashtag.
One wrote: 'Just sing outside their front door, that'll get them shifted in under an hour.'
Twitter user Paul Watson commented: 'Why do you have paying tenants in your flat, Lily, when you could be housing Syrian refugees?'
Eleanor Black wrote: 'Welcome to the real world. One major difference, you've plenty money – go buy another house.'
And in a sarcastic reference to the Live Aid fundraising concert, one commenter said: 'Bit of a crazy request, but has anyone got Bob Geldof's number?

'I think we need to organise a concert to buy Lily Allen a £4million property this Christmas. She's homeless and in need.'
Last year Allen came under fire when she apologised to Calais migrants on Britain's behalf – before insisting she would '100 per cent' take in a refugee herself.
She became emotional while meeting with a 13-year-old boy from Afghanistan who had risked his life trying to board UK-bound lorries.
The teenager, who said his father lives in Birmingham, has been camped at the Jungle on the edge of the northern French port city for two months.
The clip was aired on the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire show and prompted some viewers to claim her 'crocodile tears' and apology were 'ridiculous'.
Asked by the presenter if she would take in an unaccompanied child, she replied: '100 per cent. Who wouldn't?'
She added: 'These children are being displaced – [if] there's room for people in my house, I'm going to take them in. I think anyone would.'

The singer, who will be spending Christmas with her daughters Marnie and Ethel, was educated at fee paying schools including Hill House, which counts Prince Charles among its alumni, and Millfield.
She married builder Sam Cooper, the father of her children, in 2011 but they went their separate ways in 2015.
She has since been linked to grime DJ Daniel London, with the couple being pictured around London and on holiday in Ibiza together.
Under the Diplomatic Privileges Act 1964, diplomats are entitled to immunity from the civil and administrative jurisdiction of the British courts, except in certain circumstances.
The Mail on Sunday reported yesterday that Allen has penned an autobiography and has 'spilled every bean it is possible to spill'.
