Pregnant Peaches Geldof: My baby's due on my mum Paula Yates' birthday - she's watching over me

Peaches Geldof has revealed that she's due to give birth on 24 April - her mum's birthday.

Paula Yates died of an accidental drugs overdose aged 41 in 2000, so Peaches says it was very 'emotional and touching' when she found out the news. 

'I feel like it's a little wink from my mum; her way of sending a message to let me know that she's watching over me and my baby,' says Peaches.

'I was so happy.'

The journalist and socialite's rocker fiancé Thomas Cohen, 22, are expecting a baby boy, who they've already named Astala Dylan Willow Cohen-Geldof.

Though only 22, Peaches feels ready to start a family and says she's happy to be mirroring Paula's younger days. 

'My mum was an amazing mother,' says Peaches.

'We were alike in so many ways.

'She was 24 when she had my elder sister Fifi and I think it's really lovely that I'm experiencing something that she did at a similar stage in our lives.'
