Paloma Faith has shared a glimpse into the realities of new motherhood, revealing she pumped breast milk in the toilets at the BAFTA Awards, with assistance from Amanda Holden. The singer, who gave birth to her son nine weeks ago, posted on Instagram about the experience, noting that the footage of Holden helping her insert the wearable pumps was 'too graphic' to share.
Faith, 43, later posted a proud photo with Holden, 55, holding up full bags of breast milk, captioning it: 'The end result, thanks @noholdenback.' The singer has previously spoken about her breastfeeding journey, admitting it 'hurt like mad' with her first two children but expressing her determination to continue for her new arrival.
Faith attended the ceremony with her Celebrity Traitors co-star Alan Carr, wearing a large headpiece that drew criticism from viewers. One person on X wrote: 'How f*****g inconsiderate and entitled do you have to be to wear that massive hat? I'd be p****d sitting behind her.' Another added: 'Thoughts and prayers for whomever is sat behind Paloma Faith tonight at the BAFTAs.'
During the ceremony, Celebrity Traitors won Best Reality Programme and the Memorable Moment award, while Last One Laughing UK took Best Entertainment Programme. Netflix drama Adolescence was the standout success, winning Best Limited Drama, with Stephen Graham named Leading Actor and 16-year-old Owen Cooper winning Supporting Actor.
