TV presenter Paula Yates has lost a custody battle for her three children to her former husband Bob Geldof (45), it emerged yesterday. Geldof won the right to have the children with him for most of the year after a three-day hearing at the Family Division of the High Court, in London.

Fifi Trixibelle (15), Peaches Honeyblossom (9), and Pixie (8) will live with Geldof during term time. During school holidays the children's time will be "divided equally" between the two parents, who both live in London.
