n Paula Yates had ridden a ''rollercoaster'' of emotions in recent years, dealing with more trauma than most people deal with in a lifetime, a family psychologist said yesterday. Green, Christopher; Clerk, Carol (2003). Hughie and Paula: The Tangled Lives of Hughie Green and Paula Yates. London: Robson. ISBN 1-86105-609-5. Geldof and Yates divorced in May 1996.

Brewin recalls arriving at Yates’s house one day and finding Martin Bashir, the BBC presenter whose 1995 Panorama interview with Princess Diana was later found by an inquiry to have been obtained in a “deceitful” way. “[He was] saying she needed consoling,” says Brewin. “She was distraught after Michael had died… and there was [Martin] cooking food [in her house].” Brewin says that she told Bashir to get out. “He said, ‘Oh no, she needs looking after.’” Here's what Princess Diana told Paula Yates in a heart-breaking confession about life in spotlight".

In a magazine interview last year, she said: "It's only the mothering instinct that makes you willing to suffer every day. I know it sounds like a Victorian novel, but it's true. Right now, I still think living is a noble gesture." Had Paula lived, Brewin believes she would have done more serious television. She may well have blown the whistle on the darker goings-on of the time. “She was interested in things like the way women were treated. She would have loved the #MeToo movement, that would have been right up her street.”

In 1996, their daughter, Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily, was born. Despite Paula's claims that the couple were to have been married in January 1998, close Australian friends have said that was never on Hutchence's agenda. She had an in-depth knowledge about everything,” Brewin tells The Telegraph on a video call from Florida, where she is working as head chef on a yacht. “It didn’t matter what you were talking about, she knew it. She read voraciously. But then we’d sit in bed sometimes and watch [US talk show] Jerry Springer when it first came out and laugh at everyone else’s soap opera of a life. Until hers turned into one.” Yates loses custody battle". BBC News. 28 October 1998. Archived from the original on 25 February 2013 . Retrieved 22 May 2010.

In a review for Paula, Lucy Mangan, writing for The Guardian, hailed the documentary as "a glorious celebration of the most witty, flirty woman to ever grace our TVs" and gave the show 4/5 stars.

[44] Gerard Gilbert, writing for the newspaper I, rated the documentary 3/5 stars, adding that he "was left with a tragic sense that Yates’s untimely death robbed us of an intriguing second act".

If Yates’s on-screen persona was as a largely unserious provocateur, the real Paula was deeply sincere, even shy, says Brewin, who characterises her as a mixture of Mary Poppins and Marilyn Monroe. The Poppins side of Yates was capable of being scandalised when others took her on-screen image as a green light for saying whatever they wanted to her.Dr Anne Sheppard said it was impossible to tell just how Yates's turbulent life had affected her mind. In her autobiography, she revealed that she felt unloved and unwanted and that a particular misery was being made to sit on a wooden box listening to Jess Yates playing hymns on an organ. Her experiments with sex and drugs began while she was a teenager - as her parents' marriage fell apart.
