Colourful songstress Paloma Faith has revealed that her past jobs, which included being a magician's assistant and a nude model, left her with a strange view of the world.

During an interview with Access Hollywood Live, Faith explained that posing for painters was particularly stressful on her perceptions of her own body because they liked to "indulge in the beauty of the flesh":

"It was very tasteful but they always paint you a lot bigger than you actually are because artists like to indulge in the beauty of the flesh... and you come out being like, 'Ooh, I didn't think I was that big'."

She added that while she was working a magician's assistant she spent numerous hours trapped in a box with a rabbit: "I've been levitated, cut up, disappeared, appeared... I spent six hours once in a box with a rabbit. I was like, 'So, have you been doing this long?'"
