Faith added that her experience of giving birth for the first time was “very traumatic” and she is also “prone to postpartum depression”.

She asked the media not to publish “unflattering shots as anxiety is detrimental to me and my baby”.

Faith gave birth to her first child, who she had with French artist Leyman Lahcine, in 2016.
