We can confirm that British journalist, television presenter and model Peaches Geldof has been found dead at her home.
Peaches was the second daughter of Sir Bob Geldof and Paula Yates and the granddaughter of Hughie Green.
South East Coast Ambulance Service confirmed the death at the scene. Police say they were called to do a welfare check on a woman at an address near Wrotham, Kent on Monday afternoon. No reason has been given as yet for the sudden death at only 25 years of age.
