Peaches Geldof was 'stroked' by Michael Jackson

Washington, Mar 12 (ANI): Bob Geldof's daughter Peaches has revealed that she was "stroked" by pop star Michael Jackson when she was just eight years old.

In an interview on U.K. series Celebrity Juice, the 19-year-old socialite shocked TV audiences after recalling the childhood incident, while she was visiting Disneyland with family.

"I was eight years old, I was at Disneyland with Pappy Geldof and the fam (family), we were all hanging out there, and somehow, for some reason, Michael Jackson was there doing some sort of promotional thing and he invited a load of kids who were staying in the Disney hotel, to come meet him," Contactmusic quoted her as saying.

"He was in this one room, and we went in and I was really excited and he was sitting on a huge throne at the end of the hall, flanked by Mickey and Goofy.

"The image is burned in my mind of him there, just like 'come closer', and I went and I sat on his lap and then he proceeded to stroke me and whisper in my ear a little bit.

"I've got photos to prove it. I've been stroked by Michael Jackson," she added. (ANI)
