Paloma Faith admits 'incredibly petty' way she punished husband for break-up
Singer Paloma Faith has revealed the very petty way she sought revenge on her ex husband after their heartbreaking split.
The 42-year-old announced she'd split from partner Leyman Lahcine, with whom she shares two children, earlier this year. Taking to Instagram, Paloma shared a seven point 'break up survival guide' with fans that laid out her hilarious top tips for moving on.
Paloma admitted she paid for a billboard with her face on to be plastered on a wall on her ex's street in the hope he would walk past and regret their separation.
Last November, rumours emerged that Paloma had split from Leyman Lahcine after the musician had told friends at Jonathan Ross's Halloween party that she was single once again after five years of marriage. The couple wed in 2017.
In August, the singer confirmed their separation, revealing she was become a "single mum" to their daughters in a bombshell post on Instagram. Paloma has now shared ways she's been dealing with her sad break-up.

Paloma then revealed that she paid for a billboard at the end of her ex's road to be plastered with her image. She said: "Number five: If you can, put a billboard at the end of his road. I've actually done this, so I hope that he looked at me every day and was, like, s***."
