Paloma’s fly-on-the-wall show

-

PALOMA FAITH will be the subject of an “exposing” BBC documentar­y about juggling her career with motherhood.

The one-hour film ‘Paloma Faith – As I Am’ will follow the singer, who has spoken openly about her experience­s with IVF, over a year of her life as she balances motherhood and her career, navigating the demands of a make-or-break tour with writing a new album, launching an acting career and being a parent.

The London-born singer, 39, welcomed her first child with her long-term boyfriend, the French artist Leyman Lahcine, in December 2016. In September last year, she announced she was pregnant once again after a “struggle” involving six rounds of IVF treatment.

Faith (pictured above) said: “I was very reluctant to let a camera into the very personal experience of working as a first-time mum, but Jane Mingay, who made the film, is also a mother and a friend, so I felt safe. The result is very telling, exposed and at times emotional for me to watch.”
