I stopped drug-addled Pete Doherty driving across London. His nails were filthy and he stank. Then he turned his life around... how sad it's another addiction that could kill him: KATIE HIND


Slurring his words and highly unsteady on his feet, Pete Doherty was repeatedly attempting to manoeuvre the key into the lock of his vintage car.

What I discovered there was a man who certainly hadn't been to bed the night before, stank to high heaven and had dirty nails, seemingly confirming the tales of his legendary, self-destructive excess. The singer, who has type 2 diabetes, explained to fans in Munich why he no longer stands to sing: 'I saw the doctor today and he said you need to stay off your feet as much as you can otherwise you'll lose your toes.' The singer also attended the party in East London in December 2006 at which 30-year-old Cambridge graduate and aspiring actor Mark Blanco was allegedly thrown from a first-floor balcony.
