Peaches is forced to scratch DJ nights

She was just managing to become a bona-fide DJ, but it looks like Peaches Geldof's hard work could be in vain because we can reveal that her father, Sir Bob, has put his foot down and told his daughter she is to give up the gigs.

The 18-year-old wild child has been told she mustn't get on the decks until after her A levels or she will face being grounded until all exams are over.

This means she will be forced to pull out of a slot she has lined up for this week at new Soho haunt Punk because it will infringe upon the new laws that rocker Bob has laid down.

A source close to schoolgirl Peaches revealed: "Bob wants his daughter to do well at school so she can go onto college. He doesn't want her to be known as a rock star's daughter, but achieve something for herself.

"She is a very intelligent girl and could get some very good grades if she puts her head down and works for the results.

" Bob doesn' t mind her going out with her friends from time to time, but he sees her DJing as something she can go back to this summer once all of her work is done."

A year ago, Peaches launched herself as a record spinner along with former best pal Fiona Ritchie - aka Fifi Brown, 23 - calling their duo Trash Pussies. Despite being panned by a number of critics, they spent last summer playing at a number of venues including Bar M in Ibiza and the V Festival in Chelmsford.

They have since learned the ropes a bit more and see themselves as more accomplished DJs. Whether the critics agree is yet to be seen

The Eye's source said: "Peaches isn't sure what she is going to do after she finishes her exams, but Bob has told her that if she wants to take time out to progress in the music industry then she has his support.

"She has to prove that she is putting the hard work in too because he doesn't just want her being a fulltime party girl."

But spare a thought for poor old Bob. If he manages to control

Peaches, he' ll then have Pixie to deal with.
