Paloma Faith "went a bit psychotic" worrying she had brought the wrong baby home. The 43-year-old singer has two daughters aged eight and three with her ex-husband Leyman Lahcine and was really "freaked out" when her youngest - who was conceived via IVF - was born blonde and was genuinely worried that her biological child had gone to a different family because her own colour is naturally dark. She told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: "My hair colour is naturally dark, and my ex-partner is fully Algerian, but this baby was blonde, and it was really freaking me out.
"I went a bit psychotic, because after being in the clinic, I was thinking: Whose baby is this? “I was really worried, and I rang the clinic and asked, ‘Is there a chance . . .
’ I was worried that my actual child might be living in Hampstead with a family and having horse-riding lessons." The 'New York' songstress noted that there had been a "disassociation" with the child to begin with, especially after having her first naturally, and was "really worried" because the little one looked so different to her sister. She said: "Because of the disassociation after having a baby through fertility treatment, then a planned caesarean .
. . then they took that baby away from me, because she couldn’t breathe very well for six or seven hours.
“Therefore I didn’t have that first connection and then I looked at her and was like: ‘Where’s mine?’ Especially because the first one looks Arabic, so I’d had an Arabi.
