Life Facts:
Geldof wrote and presented her own reality TV programme,
Peaches Geldof: Teenage Mind in 2005, which was followed up with
Peaches Geldof: Teen America, which aired on Sky One in the UK on 1 March 2006.
She has recently worked as a guest reporter for
Tonight with Trevor McDonald for the ITV network and presented
The beginner's guide to Islam and T4's coverage of the NME Awards 2007 for Channel 4. She has also penned a number of columns and articles for
The Daily Telegraph,
The Guardian and
Elle Girl magazine. In 2006, Geldof was placed at number seven in the Tatler's list of Top Ten Fashion Icons for the year, the youngest person on the list. In 2007, readers of FHM voted her the 53rd sexiest woman in the world. In November 2007 it was reported that Geldof was lined up to present a new version of
The Tube, a TV music magazine show which made the former presenter, her mother Paula Yates, a star in the 1980s.
Geldof has received criticism for perceived nepotism,
[ her party lifestyle, sometimes perceived as wild and self-destructive, with critics noting her lack of years, access to wealth and hunger for fame as potential problems.]. Pete Doherty blamed his poor performance at 2005's Live 8 concert on Peaches making a "suggestive" comment to him shortly before he went onstage, which the teenager denied.[ ] However, opinion remains divided both among the press and those purportedly close to her, with many sources describing her as balanced and down to earth. She famously branded fashion gurus Trinny Woodall and Susannah Constantine "upper-class bitches with no fashion sense."
In September 2007 Geldof made her catwalk debut modelling for PPQ at London Fashion Week. She was also announced as the face of the Australian fashion line Dotti. Together with friend Fifi Brown, she also performs in a DJ-ing duo known as Trash Pussies. She has also performed for Philip Colbert and the Rodnik Band on numerous occasions. [[]
In September 2007 Geldof was featured in the British Hello! magazine wearing three dresses, which were claimed to have been Marilyn Monroe's movie costumes. The magazine paid £7,000 for a cover shoot to dress Peaches Geldof in the gowns, which were claimed to have been created by Oscar-winning costume designer William Travilla. An exhibition connected to the Peaches Geldof photo shoot, in October 2007, was named the 'Lost Collection' of William Travilla. The Hilton Hotel chain offered to host the exhibition. A second exhibition stop, scheduled for Bath, was cancelled before its opening and shortly after the authenticity of the Peaches Geldof worn dresses was questioned by the media.
Premiering on 19 October 2008 was Peaches: Disappear Here, a MTV One reality show in which Peaches founds a new youth-orientated magazine. and critical response has been largely negative.
In 2009 Peaches was signed to a six-figure modelling deal to become the face of the Miss Ultimo collection. Michelle Mone, the head of Ultimo underwear said "Peaches was the perfect choice for this campaign. She's young, edgy with lashings of style". The collection was launched at the Debenhams department store in Oxford Street in May 2009.
