She was the "Cinderella girl" who, at the age of

"Peaches" is to-day one of four women who are fighting

He allowed her to spend at the rate of £200 a day, and gave her magni- fleent limousines.

After six months "Daddy" an- nounced that the marriage had never been a real one; that "Penches" slept in a room with her mother the whole time. He, separated from her. ACID ATTACK
