Mum-of-two Paloma also chatted to us about how she mixes touring with parenting.
The singer opened up about how she feels about being away from her children as she faces the demands of her music career.
Paloma has two daughters, eight and three, who she shares with her ex-husband Leyman Lehcine.
She told us: “I have it (mum guilt) all day.
"I had it this morning because I just got back off holiday for two weeks being with my kids all day every day.
“This morning I woke up, got them ready, got their breakfast and then had to go to work and the nanny came and I just was like, I feel really bad.
"Because they are on summer holidays and I wish I could have the same holidays as them from school."
When asked if her children ever attended gigs or visited her on tour, the singer said: “They do sometimes. I mean like they love coming.
“On the tour it's a bit more straightforward but a lot of these festival ones because they're like just one-offs, sometimes I'm in a car on the way home.
"And then it's like driving back in the night and I don't want to make them do that because I think they'll get really tired.
