And then with my second child it was a lot easier,' Peaches explained on Saturday night. 'But I had a sort of thyroid problem, which is quite good actually because you can eat whatever you want, you don't have to have medication and you don't just don't gain any weight, ever.'

Sure, anyone who takes drugs knows there is a risk involved, but I don't think anyone ever thinks that they'll get addicted or die from it. I'm sure she had a lot of complicated issues from childhood. Life is hard sometimes. They're saying "heroin played a part in her death" or something like that. Is that a roundabout way of saying it was a heroin overdose, or could there be more to it that hasn't been revealed yet? They said in the initial investigation that there was no drug paraphernalia in the house, which seems odd. Did the husband clean up before calling emergency services? Also, it was said initially that her husband was not home and had a neighbour to go around and check on her when she wasn't answering his calls, now it's being said that he was the one who found her with his mother, and thought she was just sleeping. Seems odd. The husband might have known there was something up with her.

After suffering the agony of losing their daughter to the same condition they continued to nurse their son with dignity and quiet selfless devotion until his death earlier today. If we made these parents role models instead of the empty vaccuous airheads who spread themselves all over the media in shameless money hungry self promotion then the world would be a better place.

She then said: "*trots off to get degree in drug use in order to be allowed an opinion*" (sic) Explaining why she'd decided not to tweet her condolences following the tragic death Hopkins wrote in her weekly Sun column earlier this month, referencing her clash with Peaches on ITV's This Morning about parenting styles: "Peaches and I met once, on a TV sofa in central London. We were strangers and remained adversaries. "Peaches didn’t want a tweet from me. She didn’t welcome it in life. She certainly didn’t need it in death. She was tough enough not to seek approval from anyone. I admire that trait in others." Touching on Peaches' strained upbringing, she went on: "Growing up without a mum brought heartbreak into Peaches’ life. Her death threatens to do the same for her boys. History has done a terrible thing and repeated itself. When everything seems lost for one poor family, there is only dignity to hold on to and privacy to give. Sir Bob kept his dignity with words of raw despair." "I offer privacy with silence," she added. "Peaches didn’t need tweets from celebrities or strangers — she just needed a mother’s love."
