Peaches and Lucas get new shows

Peaches Geldof looks set to return to the TV Guides yet again, with speculation rife that the socialite has been offered yet another reality show.

Though only 19, the daughter of singer Bob Geldof and TV presenter Paula Yates is no stranger to the small screen, having fronted documentaries, talk shows and been the star of several reality series, one of which saw her abscond to get married in Las Vegas.

Most recently, Peaches featured in 'Disappear Here' for MTV, a show which aimed to be a youth-centred magazine programme in much the same vein as 'The Tube', the show which brought her mother to international fame.

However, while this was largely panned by critics, producers still look keen to cash in on Ms Geldof's celebrity status, with The Sun reporting that the star is to appear in yet another reality show, this time following her as she works at the New York fashion magazine 'NY-LON'.

According to the newspaper, the show is currently in its pre-production stages and is set to be broadcast by BBC Three within the coming months.

"The show would follow life at 'NY-LON' and feature Peaches and the mag's larger-than-life characters," a source revealed.

"It will be a long-running documentary, with the feel of a drama. 'The Hills' is the model, as it's been really successful for MTV."

Meanwhile, one star who has had considerably more success on the small screen, Matt Lucas, has also revealed that he has a new project in the pipeline, which looks set to grace the TV Guides within the next few months.

Announcing plans for the new show to an audience at the West London Synagogue, the 'Little Britain' star explained that he is working on a sitcom revolving around the lives of modern Jews in urban England.

"I want to produce a sitcom that will address many of the contemporary issues that affect British Jews such as intermarriage and a decline in observance," the comedian said.

He also hinted that a number of more personal topics may be broached by the show, revealing, "I was fat, bald and worried about my sexuality - so I never really felt accepted by society".

This comes soon after audiences across the country saw Lucas join fellow comedians French and Saunders in a one-off show for this year's Comic Relief efforts.
