Paloma Faith has had to diet during lockdown because she is in the middle of filming a television show.
Whilst most people are chucking out their diets as they face the extended period of time in their homes, the 38-year-old singer is being forced to continue with her diet as she was in the midst of filming the new series of US show ‘Pennyworth’ – in which she plays Bet Sykes – when the coronavirus pandemic halted production.
Speaking to The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre column, she shared: "People are saying, ‘Sack the diet.’ The reason why I can’t sack it – because I agree with you, if I was a normal person I would – the reason is because I’ve filmed half the series of a TV show and we have to go and film the other half of the series. So I can’t just suddenly be [huge]."
And the ‘Only Love Can Hurt Like This’ singer recently confessed she has "learnt to love" her "not so nice" alter ego in the show.
She admitted: "It’s going really well. I think people are relatively scared of my character. It’s nice to be somebody else … I’m completely immersed in playing another person called Bet Sykes who’s not that nice but I’m kind of in my weird, sadistic way, learning to love her too. I kind of love this horrible person as well, I’m finding new answers in her horrific personality."
Meanwhile, Paloma previously revealed she wants to release her new album in 2020, a follow-up to 2017’s chart topping ‘The Architect’.
She said: "Hopefully, the album’s next year. Trying to finish it. I was trying to finish it before starting the filming but it looks unlikely."
