Peaches Geldof has said she thinks she’s “maybe” a better role model for young girls than Miley Cyrus because she’s more real.

Peaches, who last year was rushed to hospital after a suspected drug overdose then had a brief marriage to musician Max Drummey, is quoted as saying recently: “Maybe I’m a better role model than people like Miley Cyrus.

“These girls that have been upheld as role models who are literally just girls who have been ferried from place to place, media trained, told what to do and just like complete veneers of people - people who are not even real.

“I’ve made mistakes, now I’ve come up from that and I’ve really bettered myself.

“I did my growing up in the spotlight and that is kind of difficult but I was born into it. It used to be something I had so much fun with, it was tumultuous.

“And now I’m like a woman now.”
