Geldof and Yates divorced in May 1996. On 22 July 1996, Yates gave birth to a daughter, Tiger Lily Hiraani Hutchence. [20] Yates became known for her "on the bed" interviews on the show The Big Breakfast, produced by her husband, Bob Geldof. [8] [5] She casually asked the questions she felt people really wanted the answers to: "Is it true you had an affair with Prince?" (to Kylie Minogue) — and persuaded Sting to take his trousers off live on air.

Brewin recalls arriving at Yates’s house one day and finding Martin Bashir, the BBC presenter whose 1995 Panorama interview with Princess Diana was later found by an inquiry to have been obtained in a “deceitful” way. “[He was] saying she needed consoling,” says Brewin. “She was distraught after Michael had died… and there was [Martin] cooking food [in her house].” Brewin says that she told Bashir to get out. “He said, ‘Oh no, she needs looking after.’” The news that former TV favourite Hughie Green, below, had fathered her would also have taken its toll, said Dr Sheppard. In June 1998, Geldof won full custody of the couple's three daughters after Yates attempted suicide. [25] She met Kingsley O'Keke during her stay in treatment, but the pair broke up after a six-week romance. O'Keke later sold his story to a tabloid newspaper. [26] [27] Death [ edit ]

[44] Gerard Gilbert, writing for the newspaper I, rated the documentary 3/5 stars, adding that he "was left with a tragic sense that Yates’s untimely death robbed us of an intriguing second act". [45] Whilst married to Geldof, Yates had a year-long affair with American singer Terence Trent D'Arby. [13] [14] She had a six-year long affair with actor Rupert Everett. [15] [16] She also had an affair with Michael Hutchence of INXS, which finally led to the divorce between Paula and Bob.

Yates’s self-destructive behaviour worsened for a time. “Mainly drinking,” says Brewin. But when she took the heroin that killed her on September 17 2000 – Pixie’s 10th birthday – it was the first time she had used illegal drugs in almost two years. Her inquest heard that the amount she took would not have been enough to kill her had she been an addict, and suicide was ruled out. It was, said the coroner, a “foolish and incautious” binge. Given what we now know of the permissiveness, the lasciviousness of 20th-century showbiz culture, it feels grimly unsurprising that Yates would have had her own stories to share. Brewin remembers her talking about one man in television, whom she described as a “disgusting old lech”, and whom she would have to tell to behave himself. “I think there was a lot of it,” says Brewin.

Each day she would say to me, ‘I don’t know how I’m going to get through this day,’ says Brewin. “But she did, and she said, ‘I have to for my children, I couldn’t bear to be without them.’ There was never any question she was going to keep putting one foot in front of the other. She loved those girls so much. She didn’t want her loneliness to affect them.” Later that year, while Yates and Hutchence were in Australia, the children's nannie found opium in a Smarties tube in their home.
