EXCLUSIVE: KATE: IT'S OVER
She tells junkie Pete to pack his bags after singer's drunken fight in street
By Stephen Moyes
KATE Moss has dumped Pete Doherty after the crack addict got into a violent street brawl.
The supermodel is so fed up worrying about the wayward singer, she ordered him to move out of her country mansion.
Before leaving for a modelling job in America, she told him in a tearful call: "Make sure your bags are gone by the time I return."
Doherty, 29, had to flee from a gang of Somalis after he got into a fight with them. He hid in a shop but they smashed in the front door.
Mum-of-one Kate, 31, told friends: "I still love Pete but can't put up with his unpredictability any more. It's not like I'm 17 and don't mind not knowing where he is and who he is with.
"I love him so much and he has broken my heart. I feel like a devastated schoolgirl."
Violence flared on Friday after junkie Doherty went boozing with guitarist friend Alan Wass in North London. A group of youths shouted "crackhead" at him and a fight broke out.
A friend said: "Pete was badly shaken. They were cornered in a shop and all hell broke loose.
"He took a couple of blows to the head before he managed to get out. He was worried he could have been beaten to a pulp. Pete demonstrated just why Kate has grown so frustrated with him."
Farid Khan, 30, of Supersave store in Camden Town, said: "The singer ran in pursued by six men. There was a big fight. We got the Somalis out but they hurled a brick at the door."
Kate, who has a daughter, Lila Grace, two, still hopes to pursue a singing career with Doherty.
She was behind him ditching manager James Mullord. But Kate, who asked Doherty to move into her Oxfordshire mansion two months ago, told a friend: "I can't go on spending day and night worrying about Pete. He would disappear without a word and I would not hear from him for days.
"He never listens to me. He doesn't care about me. We have rowed so much, I'm exhausted. He has to change his lifestyle. Until that happens, we are finished."
A friend of Doherty said: "We're worried how Pete will react to being dumped. For all their ups and downs, and despite his wild ways, he really loves Kate."
Scotland Yard said of the street fight: "We were called to reports of an altercation. A man was arrested."
The Mirror told last week how Doherty exchanged blows with his friend James Mullord after telling him he was sacked.
