Peaches Geldof is dead, age 25

[Cheesypoof]

She looked dangerously skinny in photos recently....it could have been a heart attack.

Far too young. RIP.

 

[RedDragon]

Poor woman, rip.

I don't know why it's so sad to me but it is I've just been in tears for last 15 minutes?? Im a stupid idiot

I cried too. Her two little ones. It's very, very sad.

Standard.

To be fair Geldolf in that interview was also talking bollocks,it's sad when someone so young dies but lets not lose our grip on their views merely because they have died.

I thought she was talking total sense in that interview and it made me warm towards her. I'm wondering about PND, she had an awful small gap between the kids...exhausting. Anyway really sad news.

 

[frogwoman]

Very very sad

for some reason The Guardian has opened the comments, hope that's an error

They haven't exactly covered themselves in glory recently with that picture of the grief stricken relative of one of the Chinese passengers too...

What irritates me is the knitting together of Tweets from random celebs to form an article.

The media can be fucking vultures sometimes and it isn't just the tabloids

That interview was the first I've ever heard her... she seemed v articulate and I too changed my opinion. Now very sad to hear that news.

What annoyed me was what she referred to as the apparent lack of mental illness and bullying in Africa which is patently not true.

25? Thats not good innings at all

Witchcraft, etc,

Sodding hell, that Hopkins is ridiculous, why are they getting her on all the time?
I wish everyone would call Hopkins out for what she is (like Peaches here) every time they wheel her out, then maybe the media would just bloody STOP DOING IT!

A truly horrible and patronising person.

Katie Hopkins does not bother me, I quite like her spirit. She tries to make a living, after losing the apprentice, and has decided being controversial maintains her profile and earning power. And she isn't really that controversial!

She's a dick.

25, for goodness sake. Her babies.

Yes, but so are a lot of people

She's a nasty piece of work.

She's just a rent a gob. There are bigger evils in the world to deal with.

I'm going to sound like such an old fart but this is why I like bake off and the sewing bee.

Apart from the nastiness I've seen directed at a couple of contestants outside of the show, it's not like that. It's a more gentle type of show, it's fluffy and nice and warm.

Come dine with me was hilarious for the first couple of years, then it just got mean.

I agree. The great british bake off (though not my cup of tea) was refreshing in it's gentle, friendly and supportive approach. It's a shame a TV show should stand out because it lacks petty bickering and socially inept cretins.
Come dine with me used to be a programme about people meeting in their local area, who all had a passion for cooking. That alone was interesting, seeing strangers getting together, enjoying each others company and food. There was a regime change and a new decision was made to introduce 'nut bars' who sucked at cooking and social interaction. Producers / APs were asked to encourage / fuel back biting. That kind of telly infuriates me. The attitude that people think we all want to see idiots and confrontation. I like to see nice people being nice and happy natural conclusions. I can't be the only one.
I saw one ep of that 'call centre', and I think that handled the subject matter quite well. It would have been easy to just make fun of everyone, when clearly that would not have been fair at all. If handled by some of the prize TV tools I know I think it would have been a horror show. I have only seen one ep though, so I am no authority. I found out last week though that it was produced by a good friend so I would hate to hear other eps turn it over to the 'dark side'.

What's the betting in the coming days there will be a particularly vile Daily Mail piece written by one their columnists, to be taken offline a couple of days later once the required number of clicks have been achieved?

She used to use my firm when she was in London. Used to keep them waiting hours, especially if someone else was paying. I assumed an OD like her mum when I first heard but police say they are treating it as 'unexplained' so probably some weird disease or condition. Very very sad, old Bob must be gutted.

She is certainly ruthless, I haven't seen her be nasty though.

A sure thing I would have thought, sadly.

Six articles about Peaches currently up on the Fail website
