‘I’m always jealous of Adele’: Paloma Faith confesses she envies the ‘beautiful’ singer’s slimmed-down figure and financial freedom
Paloma Faith has admitted she is ‘always jealous of Adele’, due to the star’s roaring success and her recent seven stone weight loss.
Speaking on Instagram Live, the Picking Up The Pieces hitmaker, 38, admitted that she envies the fellow Brit, 32, as she has the option ‘to never work again’.
She said: ‘I think I’m always a bit jealous of Adele. I was never like, ‘Look at my bod’. I was never like that but now I’m like, ‘Oh my God, she’s so beautiful’.

‘And like, she doesn’t have to work again. I have to work. I have to keep working. I love her. It’s not like a horrible, ‘I wish she would die’, jealousy. It’s just like, ‘Aw it would be so great to be like her and have the choice to not work again’.’
Adele caused shockwaves last week when she shared a rare snap from her birthday – in which she displayed her phenomenal weight loss.
The duo already have a history as in 2014, Paloma revealed she had given Adele, Adele’s dog and Alan Carr food poisoning at a dinner party at her house.
She said: ‘I gave them all food poisoning, I really like Alan and Adele and I did not mean to do that – I have not spoken to Alan until now. I did buy the meat from a really good supermarket, which I won’t name but I’d love to sue.’

Elsewhere in her Instagram Live, Paloma, who has been with her partner, French artist Leyman Lahcine, for the past seven years, admitted she regrets not having sex with more people when she was single.
The star – who welcomed her first child with Leyman in 2016 – said: ‘I wish I’d had more now. Do you want to know my number? It’s rubbish, 12.’
Meanwhile, Paloma recently revealed she loves to ‘snog hunky, hot guys’ in her music videos.
She explained: ‘I don’t have dancers that often, but when I do I find them really hot. And when I’ve done videos and stuff with guys I always fancy the guy. I just have the best job ever because I’m allowed to snog hunky, hot guys.

‘The problem is you’re not meant to use tongues because it then becomes intimate. So you have to pretend and not use tongues. If you stick a tongue in they know.’
And Paloma joked that whilst her boyfriend ‘hates’ seeing her kiss other men, he ‘can’t attack’ her for it because she’s only acting for the sake of the music video.
She added: ‘What’s really great is that my partner hates it but then I go, ‘Babe it’s my job, you can’t attack me for something that’s my job’. And he’s like, ‘But it looked so real’, and I say, ‘Well I’m such a great actress, I didn’t feel anything’.’
