He then revealed that he made his sons Astala, then 23 months, and Phaedra, then 11 months, lunch an hour after discovering his wife’s body.

Thomas went on: “What I can remember, it must have been an hour after I’ve found [her], that it’s time for the kids’ lunch.

“They needed their lunch. So I took the children’s chairs to the table, took the yogurts out of the fridge, the bananas…

“The routine I had to keep up with the children helped me a lot.

“They have lived longer than they knew their mother. They were just one and two years. Now they are four and five.”

Baby Phaedra was left alone with his mum’s body for eight hours.

Peaches’ dad Bob Geldof also confessed that he wasn’t surprised at his daughter’s death.

In a 2015 interview, the Boomtown Rats frontman said: “Part of me kind of half-expected [it with] Peaches, to be honest with you.
