Lily Allen backs La Roux for Mercury prize


Lily Allen has backed newcomers La Roux to scoop the Mercury music prize.

The 24-year-old, whose LP It's Not Me It's You missed out on making the shortlist, lent her support to the 'In For The Kill' duo's self-titled debut album.

"I hope La Roux wins," she wrote on her Twitter blog.

Bookmakers William Hill have installed Kasabian and Florence and Machine as early favourites, with Sweet Billy Pilgrim as 10/1 outsiders.

Previous winners include Arctic Monkeys, Dizzee Rascal and Elbow
