Peaches Geldof is pregnant with her first child, her spokeswoman has said.

The 22-year-old, the daughter of Bob Geldof and Paula Yates, recently got engaged to Thomas Cohen.

Her spokeswoman said: "Peaches Geldof and her fiance Thomas Cohen are delighted to announce that Peaches is pregnant with their first child.

"Peaches is utterly thrilled and they have the full support of both of their families who are equally excited for the baby's arrival."

Peaches Geldof has presented a number of TV programmes including Peaches Geldof: Teenage Mind and A Beginner's Guide To Islam.

She divorced rock musician Max Drummey in 2009 after a six-month marriage.

The pair married in secret in Las Vegas.

Her mother died from an accidental heroin overdose in 2000 at the age of 40.

Paula Yates, the former presenter of Channel 4's Big Breakfast and The Tube, split up with 60-year-old Bob Geldof five years earlier following an affair with INXS front man Michael Hutchence.

The Australian singer was found dead in a hotel room in Sydney in 1997.

Paula Yates went on to lose custody of the three children she had with Bob Geldof - Peaches, Pixie and Fifi - the following year.
