"We were on first name terms but I called her 'P'," the source explained. "The last time I saw her she was fine, but furtive.

"She used to wear a hoodie to disguise herself. The first time I saw her I thought I recognised her and we just chatted about a few things.

"I said, 'I recognise you from somewhere' and she told me her name was Peaches. That was when it clicked — Peaches Geldof.

"She said, 'You'd better not say anything to anybody'. She didn’t want her husband finding out. She said he was completely straight and that Dad would go spare if he knew anything about it.

"She said she didn't want her family or her husband to know about the drugs and it was top secret. She used to arrive on her own. She was on a script (prescription) and had to turn up weekly."

The 25-year-old celeb was reportedly getting heroin substitute methadone at the clinic.

"She was most concerned about her husband," the source continued. "She said, 'You won't believe it he's a really straight family man. I married a really straight really nice bloke. He won't understand, it would affect my kids'.

"She seemed like a really normal girl. To me she was a celebrity."

The source also relayed that Peaches explained she had first begun taking heroin when she lived in New York City some years before.
