Peaches Geldof Faces Axe as Host of iTunes Festival
Posted by
Bob Geldof’s wayward daughter Peaches is in danger of losing her presenting job as host of ITV2′s iTunes Festival following allegations over the weekend she suffered a drugs overdose.
Peaches, 19, presents the show with MTV’s Dave Berry. But Apple — the owner of iTunes — are said to be fuming over the drugs claims, and she could face the axe.
A source said, “They were furious and have been in talks with ITV chiefs about whether to sack Peaches.
“They are a massive worldwide brand. If your audience is thousands of teens, you’ve got to be careful.”
TV bosses did give Peaches — whose mom Paula Yates was killed by a drugs overdose eight years ago — time off following her overdose.
But yesterday she turned up for to film the show iTunes Festival 2008.
The iTunes Live: London Festival ’08 is a string of daily gigs in Camden, North London, featuring stars like Paul Weller and James Blunt.
