Peaches Geldof accused of leaving shop without paying for £500 dress
EXCLUSIVE: SHE APOLOGISES FOR 'MIX-UP'
Sir Bob Geldof's daughter Peaches was last night accused of leaving a shop with a £500 dress without paying for it.
The 18-year-old allegedly walked out with the designer silk garment from the Victim store near Carnaby Street on Thursday.
After store staff realised it was missing, they phoned her management firm and Peaches returned to the shop and apologised.
Police were not called and the teenager told the owner it was all a "simple misunderstanding".
Peaches had gone into the store accompanied by a TV crew who were filming her for a reality show.
A source close to her dad Sir Bob said what followed was just an innocent mix-up. The source added: "The dress was on a counter with her scarf, bag and coat and after the shoot, she scooped up the stuff and ran for her next appointment. The shop management were quite justifiably p***** off but it was an innocent mistake and she later paid for the dress."
Last night, Nazinna Douglas, manager of Victim, said: "She can get everything she wants for free. To her taking a dress means nothing but it's not something we take lightly. This is our livelihood. It's just not fair."
But a spokesperson for Peaches' company Insanity Talent Management hit back, saying: "The claim is totally incorrect.
"Peaches has a receipt for the supposedly stolen dress. It was an honest mistake at the time and she went back to the store having been told the dress was missing. She most definitely has not been shoplifting and nothing has been reported to the police."
