Pete Doherty claims rural Normandy 'saved' his life as he discusses not making the 'smartest financial choices' in the depths of his drug addiction


The Libertines musician, 45, has been off hard drugs for three years and has now settled down in Northern France with his wife Katia and their one-year-old daughter Billie-Mae.

The former crack and heroin addict, who has returned to headlines after starring in a new Louix Theroux special, has seen the value of companies that channel his cash hit £1.05million after finally getting his life back on track. Peter Doherty: Stranger In My Own Skin shows the extent of his horrific drug addiction, his pained performances at the height of his illness and also contains film of him with his friend and lover Amy Winehouse. Pete is seen in the depth of his addiction - which led to a string of rehab stints and brushes with the law - with his wife, with whom he shares five-month-old daughter Billie-May, behind the lens capturing his darkest moments.
