LOLA Young has revealed the shocking moment she discovered her lover was a married dad – just after they’d been intimate.

The pop star, fresh from a return to the spotlight, shared the jaw-dropping story live on stage during Rosalia’s sold-out O2 Arena concert.

She had been seeing the man for four months and was falling for him when the truth hit.

Lola told The Sun how she overheard a phone call he took from his wife, asking him to bring nappies for their kids – all through a Bluetooth speaker still connected in the room.

“I was seeing someone for about four months, it was getting pretty serious,” Lola said.

“I have to confess I thought I was falling in love.

He was a bit older, like an older human being. Men seem to mature a lot less quickly.”

The revelation came moments after they had sex.

As he jumped up to answer the phone, Lola heard everything and realised his double life.

“I didn’t do anything wrong,” she insisted, but the betrayal hit hard.

She admitted the experience put her off men entirely.

“I lost the plot a bit. I was like, I can’t do this, I’m back to women.”

Lola didn’t name the man or say when it happened but opened up in a rare on-stage confessional, invited out by Rosalia.

Lola, who has won a Brit and a Grammy this year, recently returned from a break to sort personal issues.

Earlier this year, she was spotted on the celebrity dating app Raya and hinted at her fluid sexuality, replying to a fan: “i like py as well u kno.”

She’s now gearing up for a UK tour with dates across Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow, and London next month, ready to focus on her career and new chapter.
