On 22 November 1997, Hutchence was found dead in a hotel room in Sydney. The official verdict into his death said that he committed suicide by hanging. [21] Yates wrote in her police statement that Hutchence was "frightened and couldn't stand a minute more without his baby". During their phone conversations on the morning of his suicide, he had said, "I don't know how I'll live without Tiger". Yates also wrote that Geldof had threatened them repeatedly, saying: "Don't forget, I am above the law." [22] Yates became distraught, refusing to accept the coroner's verdict of suicide and insisting that it was a case of auto-erotic asphyxiation. [23] She eventually sought psychiatric treatment. Yates became known for her "on the bed" interviews on the show The Big Breakfast, produced by her husband, Bob Geldof. [8] [5] She casually asked the questions she felt people really wanted the answers to: "Is it true you had an affair with Prince?" (to Kylie Minogue) — and persuaded Sting to take his trousers off live on air.

Her separation from Bob Geldof is likely to have been terribly painful, not in the least because it was so highly publicised. Mangan, Lucy (13 March 2023). "Paula review – a glorious celebration of the most witty, flirty woman to ever grace our TVS". The Guardian.Yates described her childhood as lonely and isolated; her mother, she claimed, was absent for much of her upbringing. [5] She attended a village primary school, Penrhos College, and Ysgol Aberconwy. The Yates family ran the Deganwy Castle Hotel for a time, [6] before moving to a house near Conwy. After the break-up of her parents' marriage in 1975, Yates lived mostly with her mother despite having a closer relationship with her father, and also had periods in Malta and Mallorca where she was a pupil at Bellver International College, before returning to Britain.

Given what we now know of the permissiveness, the lasciviousness of 20th-century showbiz culture, it feels grimly unsurprising that Yates would have had her own stories to share. Brewin remembers her talking about one man in television, whom she described as a “disgusting old lech”, and whom she would have to tell to behave himself. “I think there was a lot of it,” says Brewin.
