Who’s Madeline has been the question on everybody’s lips since the release of Lily Allen’s new album on Friday.
The singer addressed her ex husband David Harbour’s infidelity in the semi-autobiographical album on tracks Tennis and Madeline as she repeatedly sings: ‘Who the f*** is Madeline?’
And now Lily has taken yet another swipe at Madeline in her latest TikTok as she referenced a scene from Australian sitcom Summer Height High.
Putting on a racy display in a low cut black dress, Lily sits in bed in the clip as she lip syncs to the voiceover which goes: ‘I open your sent box and what do I find? Four messaged from Madeline. Who the f**k is she?’
The line originates in the 2007 comedy when Year 11 student Ja’mie falls in love with a Year 7 student called Sebastian.
However Ja’mie goes through Sebastian’s phone to find a girl called Madeline has been texting him.
Lily Allen has taken another swipe at her ex-husband David Harbour’s ‘mistress’ Madeline in a hilarious TikTok on Tuesday as fans spot reference to Australian sitcom
Putting on a racy display in a low cut black dress, Lily sits in bed in the clip as she lip referenced a scene from Australian sitcom Summer Height High asking ‘Who TF is Madeline?’
Noticing the niche reference fans took to the comments section as they penned: ‘Love that you’re quoting summer heights high’.
Another added: ‘Lily quoting Jaimé .. what a time to be alive’; ‘Jamie is perfect for every situation she lived it all’.
Others shared their support for the lyrics on Lily’s candid break up album as they wrote: ‘ Lily Allen renaissance is in full effect, lads’;
‘Sounding better than ever love the new music’; ‘Gorgeous’; ‘Loving it’.
Lily’s new record West End Girl comes after a turbulent time in the star’s life following the breakdown of her marriage in December after she accused David of having multiple affairs including a three-year affair with a younger costume designer.
Fans are speculating Lily’s song is a modern-day equivalent of Beyonce’s ‘Becky with the good hair,’ which featured on a song called Sorry, a cheating diss track from her 2016 album Lemonade.
It’s suspected that Madeline is a pseudonym Lily has used for legal reasons.
Fans widely speculated it referred to alleged infidelity by Beyonce’s husband Jay-Z with a woman called ‘Becky’, and theories began circulating online about her identity.

Its release comes after a turbulent time in Lily’s life following the breakdown of her marriage to David Harbour in December after she discovered his three-year affair with a younger colleague
The song, Tennis, sees Lily namecheck the woman, who she interrogates her partner about after seeing a text message from her appear on his phone
Meanwhile Dolly Parton’s 1973 hit Jolene sees the country star sing: ‘Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene/ I’m begging of you, please don’t take my man’.
And it seems Lily has penned the new ‘Jolene’ – but this time she is called Madeline.
In heartbreaking lyrics in the song Tennis, Lily uses the racket sport as a metaphor for sex as she sings: ‘So I read your text, and now I regret it.
‘I can’t get my head round how you’ve been playing tennis/ If it was just sex I wouldn’t be jealous.
‘You won’t play with me and who the f**k is Madeline?’
The song ends with an outro repeating: ‘Da, da-da, da-da, who’s Madeline? (Who’s Madeline?)’ before it ends with: ‘No, but who is Madeline, actually?’
The following song is then entirely centred on the affair as she appears to suggest the couple had an open arrangement in regards to sex, as long as it was discrete and not based on emotional connection.
While Lily has revealed that ‘Madeleine’ is constructed from numerous people, she still paused when asked directly about her in a new clip (pictured Lily’s album cover)
While Lily has revealed that ‘Madeline’ is constructed from numerous people, she still paused when asked directly about her in a new clip earlier this week.
During a game which was filmed at her album launch, Lily was asked by reporter Amelia White to guess her own songs after doing a performance of the lyrics.
She correctly guessed a selection of her tracks including, Not Fair, a cover of The Kooks’ Naïve, Cheryl Tweedy, Friday Night and Pussy Palace.
Lily was then asked ‘who the f*** is Madeleine?’, seemingly catching her off guard as she paused before answering correctly.
