Horrors guitarist 'hides from Geldof'

Joshua Third, the guitarist in rock band The Horrors, hid backstage to avoid the advances of his singer's ex-girlfriend Peaches Geldof, it has been claimed.

According to The Mirror, Geldof was in pursuit of Third, despite having been romantically involved with his bandmate Faris Badwan prior to her failed marriage to Max Drummey.

A friend of the band said: "Joshua was weirded out by the whole thing. Peaches has been messaging him and calling him, asking him out, but he says he's not interested. The fact she dated Faris for so long is just strange.

"He's flattered but he couldn't do that to a friend. Peaches made her presence by the stage clear. She kept flitting her eyes between Joshua and Faris, trying to catch Joshua's eye."

Geldof recently formed new band Kiss And Makeup with American Apparel heir Jonny Makeup, her second group after This Tawdry Affair, The Sun reports.
