Alan Carr and Paloma Faith’s Celebrity Traitors feud has deepened after the comedian snubbed her pregnancy announcement.
The singer, 44, announced she was pregnant with her third child last week after being booted out of the hit BBC show by friend Alan, who is a Traitor alongside Jonathan Ross and Cat Burns.
The comedian’s betrayal was a shock twist in the series and Paloma has since said she was devastated that the three had chosen to murder her first.
However, as Paloma shared her pregnancy news on Instagram it seems the bad blood continues as Alan publicly ignored the exciting news.
Despite Alan not responding to the Only Love Can Hurt Like This hitmakers news, other Traitors did send their congratulations including host Claudia Winkleman and co-star Kate Garraway.
Paloma has been in a relationship with her boyfriend Stevie Thomas, a managing director of venue The JamHouse, for a year.
She captioned her post: ‘Plot twist, mother is mothering (again) #morethangeriatricpregnancy #oappregnancy #oapmilf #18weekspregnant’
The star welcomed a daughter with her ex Leyman Lahcine, who she split from in 2023 after nine years together, in December 2016 and a second baby girl in February 2021.
Paloma has been incredibly open about the heartbreaking fertility struggles she has faced over the years, after conceiving both her children through IVF.
Before welcoming her two children, Paloma went through six rounds of IVF treatment, during which she suffered an ectopic pregnancy and a devastating miscarriage.
During the birth of her first child, following a successful second round of IVF, Paloma endured a horrific labour.
The artist had an emergency C-section which later led to fertility problems and post-partum psychosis, she revealed.
Paloma shed light on her difficult births on the How To Fail With Elizabeth Day podcast last year, as she said: ‘The birth was really difficult. It was actually unbearable…
‘It started with PROMS (Premature Rupture of Membranes) – You’re, sort of, in labour and that was only at six months pregnant, I think, and they were like You’re going to have to induce, you’re going to have a premature baby…
‘I was really defiant I was going to have that, so I was just in bed rest and downing four litres of water a day for a month to replenish the lost waters.’
On the traumatic time and her severe lack of sleep, she said: ‘After 21 hours in labour and no sleep for a week. I had seven hours of sleep in seven days…
‘I had an emergency cesarean which later on caused me fertility problems as well, and then a bit of post-partum psychosis because of lack of sleep so I was, like, hallucinating. Probably depressed for a couple of years without realising…
‘Later I wanted a second child and then I had three failed transfers. The fourth one worked and I was just so, kind of, headstrong about it.’
Paloma also spoke of the time she suffered a miscarriage on the set of 2019 Pennyworth, in which she played sociopath Bet Sykes.
She explained that while filming a fight scene, she realised she was miscarrying but insisted on carrying on with filming for fear of losing her job, saying: ‘I would just be going home without work and without a viable pregnancy.’
On keeping her miscarriage secret at work, Paloma said: ‘[The miscarriage] started at work and it was a fight scene on Pennyworth. I just thought to myself, “It’s gone so I might as well carry on with what I was doing.” I had to go to the toilet nine times…
‘I told them I ate something bad last night because I knew if I told them they would escort me home. I didn’t want to. I would just be going home without work and without a viable pregnancy.’
Earlier this year, Paloma revealed her new love has made her finally consider marriage after previously always being totally against it.
She has now told for the first time how serious her relationship has become with her new man, as she revealed they had been dating for nearly a year.
Speaking on Jamie Laing and Sophie Habboo’s Newly Weds podcast in March, Paloma said: ‘This is a strange thing.
‘I wasn’t married to my kids’ dad and I’ve always been someone that’s very anti-marriage, because the history of it is that it’s about ownership of women and I’m the child of a feminist.
‘Weirdly, I don’t know what’s changed in me, but this guy gives me a bit like “Oh well”‘.
She continued: ‘I remember when I met him I was like “I’m never going to get married, don’t ever ask me”.
‘And then over time now I’m like “Yeah I don’t know, I’ll keep an open mind.” I can just feel myself softening.
‘If my mum hears this she’ll be like, “What the hell is going on with you? Is it a mid-life crisis?”.’
‘I do think having kids with someone is stronger than marriage from experience.’
Asked by Jamie if it means she’s in love now, Paloma replied: ‘Yeah.
‘Also I feel like I’m coming from the perspective that I know how it can pan out as well. It can go still. If we don’t invest, if we don’t ask each other.
‘I really also believe in therapy so much. I just think if you get someone good, I think it’s so important.
‘If you’re with someone who’s like “I’m willing to go and try that”.’
