Paloma was filming 2019 drama Pennyworth – in which she played Bet Sykes.
Speaking on the How to Fail with Elizabeth Day podcast, the Only Love Can Hurt Like This hitmaker 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.”
Paloma also told how she suffered a traumatic ectopic pregnancy following IVF treatment.
She continued: “I then had an ectopic pregnancy with the first one then my fertility starts going because I’ve had one tube damaged. The second time worked, so I was lucky because I actually ended up with 2 viable pregnancies quite quickly.”
The Sun revealed Paloma’s split from Leyman in November 2022 after nine years together.
An insider at the time said: “Things between Paloma and Leyman became strained over the past year and they’re no longer together – although they co-parent their children together.”
Paloma, who will release her sixth album The Glorification of Sadness this week, was recently confirmed to be taking part in the upcoming series of The Great Celebrity Bake Off for Stand up to Cancer.
