Paloma said it had been a different experience since returning and her approach to her music had changed but she was enjoying every minute.

She said: “I’m trying to juggle being a mother and a singer. I have no idea how I am managing, but I am somehow. I do feel my approach to music has changed since I’ve become a parent - which does have an impact."

“The only reason I do what I’m doing is because I love touring – as when I’m out there I am excited and feel that I’m in the right place.”
