Bob Geldof's daughter Peaches is following in her father's footsteps and pursuing a career in music as a rap artist.

Peaches, 16, says that she intends to release her first album when as soon as she leaves school.

She said: "Until this month, when I had my 16th birthday, I was too young to go to bars so I tended to spend my evenings rapping at my friends houses.

"I came to love it and I think developed a talent for it. When I leave school I plan to get a record deal, bring out an album and become a famous rap star.

"I want to become like Jennifer Lopez with a bit of hip-hop thrown in."
