The mother of two admitted she doesn’t want to miss any of her children’s milestone moments and will be taking them on tour with her.

Paloma, who shares her child of five and 15 months with her partner Leyman Lahcine, said: “People are quite interesting, I talk a lot on my social media about struggles I’ve had with motherhood and different things, quite openly.

“People will say I didn’t know you did IVF or miscarried. Because you seem so optimistic, but that’s just a coping mechanism.
