“Waddling” is how Paloma Faith describes her general state. This is understandable. When we speak, the Brit Award-winning singer is eight‑and-three-quarter months pregnant. Despite this, she still manages to look theatrically starry as she sits at a computer in the basement of her London home wearing a vast, white Peter Pan collar over a black dress. Behind the 39-year-old stands a clothes rail packed with multicoloured coats, none of which, she notes wryly, she can fit into.
