She loved those girls so much. She didn’t want her loneliness to affect them.”

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.’”

These things are not even easy to deal with in private, so having to go through something like that in the public eye would be more traumatic. Whether she was a stable person or not, I can't say. But I suspect she was not.'' Soon after Yates's death, Geldof assumed foster custody of Tiger Lily so that she could be brought up with her three older half-sisters, Fifi, Peaches and Pixie.

[5] She attended a village primary school, Penrhos College, and Ysgol Aberconwy. The Yates family ran the Deganwy Castle Hotel for a time, [6] before moving to a house near Conwy.

In a blaze of tabloid publicity, she left Geldof for Hutchence a year later, and in 1996, amidst an even bigger blaze of tabloid publicity, the couple were divorced.
