Peaches Geldof to be Sent to Africa

Sir Bob Geldof is sending his troubled daughter Peaches to Africa in a bid to curb her wild ways, it has been revealed.

According to reports, the former Boomtown Rats star is hoping that a spell helping others in the poverty-stricken country will help whip Peaches into shape following her July drugs overdose.

A source tells Britain's News of The World newspaper, "Party time for Peaches is over. Bob has simply had enough of her being out of control. She'll be sent out to do some good this summer and put her drug-taking ways behind her.

"Bob has spent his life helping those with miserable and poor lives. Back home, all Peaches has done is act like the spoiled little rich kid."

Peaches, 19, was last month rushed to hospital after she was found slumped on the floor of her London home. She reportedly overdosed on heroin.

Peaches' mother, British TV presenter Paula Yates, died of a heroin overdose in 2000. She was 41.
