Paloma Faith exposes 'taxing' side of reality TV

Paloma Faith just claimed being in Celebrity Traitors is no less than a prison.

The Warrior singer is among the stars who participated in a celebrity version of the reality show and admitted the experience was far more “demanding” than she anticipated.

“It was way more taxing and psychologically demanding than I expected,” she told BBC Radio 2.

Faith continued, “It’s like a Scandinavian jail. When you sit at home and watch it on the telly it’s like ‘entertainment’ and ‘showbiz’ but when you’re in you’re like, ‘Oh my God’.”

“Best I don’t ever do anything illegal,” she jokingly added.

Paloma's participation in the show was only confirmed last week when the full line-up was revealed.

The Only Love Can Hurt Like This hitmaker would be up against A-listers like Sir Stephen Fry, Jonathan Ross and Alan Carr for a cash prize of up to £100,000 for a charity of their choice.

The nine-part series will also feature Cat Burns, Celia Imrie, Charlotte Church, Clare Balding, David Olusoga, Joe Marler, Joe Wilkinson, Kate Garraway, Lucy Beaumont, Mark Bonnar, Nick Mohammed, Niko Omilana, Ruth Codd, Tameka Empson and Tom Daley.
