The 39-year-old singer - who has a three-year-old daughter with partner Leyman Lahcine - is expecting her second child but thinks taking time away from her career after giving birth will leave her more "exhausted" than if she was at work because raising a baby is so much "harder".

She said: "I’m not the type of person that has a break and, actually, having a baby is harder than working.

"So if I take some time off I’ll probably be more exhausted by a baby and desperate to get back to work for a rest.”

And Paloma already knows she'll be kept busy with both her TV series 'Pennyworth' and her planned tour in September 2021.

She added: "'Pennyworth' takes up six months of the year, which leaves the other six months for music, which at the moment I feel is fair.”

The 'Gold' singer has been craving savoury foods but opts for low-fat versions.

She told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre column: "It’s gherkins and Marks & Spencer’s cheese tasters.

"Luckily they do a reduced- fat version because I’m getting through the packets.

"Thankfully I’m a proud owner of a very regular delivery slot.”

Paloma is currently preparing for Christmas and revealed that, although she'll leave out traditional snacks for Santa, she won't leave him any alcohol because of her family history.

She explained: "There’s quite a lot of addiction in my family so we’ve got a policy that we’ll never leave Santa out an alcoholic beverage because he’s probably too drunk to get to all the houses.

So we always leave him some- thing refreshing, like a soft drink, so he can sober up a bit and make sure he makes it to everyone.”
