Peaches Geldof may have had an eating disorder when she died, a top TV doc suspects after looking at pictures of the model's hands, especially her knuckles.
Dr Chris Steele from 'This Morning GP' said that the mum-of-two lost a lot of weight in two years and the damage to the knuckles seen in the snaps hints at bulimia, the Mirror reported.
Steele said that Geldof's knuckles were darker than the rest of the fingers and enlarged, which is caused by long-term effects of bulimia.
The TV presenter had also talked about losing weight with a dangerous fad diet that involves not eating any solid food for a month.
Steele also suspects that Peaches' death could have resulted from a rare heart condition that shows no prior symptoms.
