Peaches Geldof and Thomas Cohen
The TV star is expecting a boy on April 24 which is the same date her mum Paula Yates, who died of a drugs overdose in 2000 aged 41, was born and Peaches believes the significant date is a sign that her mother is "watching over" her.

The blonde beauty - who is expecting the child with her fiance Thomas Cohen - said: "I feel like it's a little wink from my mum - her way of sending a message to let me know she's watching over me and my baby.

"It was amazing for me when they told me that, very emotional and touching and just really beautiful. I was so happy.

"He offered Tom a glass of champagne and told me he was glad it was Tom because, of all the boyfriends I've had, he's the favorite.
