KATE'S JUNKIE BOYFRIEND ARRESTED 
 
Feb 3 2005
 
EXCLUSIVE
 
By Stephen Moyes And Pete Samson
 
  
THE drug addict rocker in love with Kate Moss was arrested last 
night - hours after pouring his heart out to the Mirror.
Pete Doherty was held for allegedly beating up a pal who refused to 
give him money, apparently for a fix.
Only a few hours before, Pete and his rock pals had given the Mirror 
an exclusive insight into his relationship with Kate. Our chat 
included the amazing revelation that the couple are planning to MARRY 
after she had proposed to him by phone from New York.
He also claimed he will kick drugs and plans to go into rehab on 
Monday.
But late last night the ex-Libertines front man, 25, was in custody 
after documentary maker Max Carlish claimed he had been attacked at a 
hotel in Clerkenwell, Central London.
Mr Carlish, 38, went to hospital with two black eyes and a busted 
nose. He said: "I was in a hotel with Pete and everything was going 
fine until he started demanding loads of cash.
"He wanted thousands and I knew he was going to go out and spend it 
on heroin. He was desperate for a fix. I said no and he went beserk, 
punching me. There was nothing I could do..he was going mad.
"I'm blind without my glasses but he pulled them off and smashed them 
on the floor and trampled on them. Despite the drugs, he's quite a 
big bloke. His eyes were wild. It was terrifying.
"He beat me and he wouldn't stop. My face is a miss. He stole all the 
money I had and my mobile phone."
Mr Carlish called police and went to University College Hospital. He 
had made a documentary about Doherty, which included pictures of him 
taking heroin.
Doherty has recently told friends of his anger at shots of him 
taken "ages ago" resurfacing.
Police said last night: "We were called to a hotel in Peter's Lane. 
We arrested a 25-year-old man on suspicion of actual bodily harm and 
theft."
Earlier Doherty and his pals revealed how he and Kate had sealed 
their engagement with a sex romp at a Paris hotel - and how he plans 
to kick crack cocaine and heroin.
He told the Mirror: "I am happy. Who wouldn't be. It's all in my 
hands. I want to make it work. The drugs have got to stop or I'll 
lose her. I owe it to her. We are soulmates."
ON DRUGS AND MUSIC
EX-LIBERTINE Doherty and best pal Peter Wolfe had a drugs and drink 
marathon recently that ended with them rolling naked on a blood-
soaked floor, carving each other's initials on their bodies with 
knives.
Both were spending £1,050 a week on cocaine, heroin and hashish. 
Doherty said: "We are kindred spirits. New Romantics and poets. But 
our drug-taking spiralled out of control."
Wolfe, a song-writing partner, added: "We became helpless addicts. 
Either the drugs stop or we do, fatally. We know that." Doherty told 
friends: "I have so much to live for - my loved ones and my music. I 
can make people feel better by what I do. I will do the 
rehabilitation.
"Wolfman and I took up drugs to get off the drink. But it has all 
gone wrong. People will always take drugs and it's easy to blame 
junkies.
"But we realise we have a responsibility to music followers who might 
be influenced by us."
Doherty will today travel to Bath to record a debut album with his 
new group Babyshambles, after which he will be free to "get clean".
ON KATE
DOHERTY told how he and Kate "got serious" after her 31st birthday 
party at her Cotswold mansion.
She had previously told friends "I'm after his bum" after seeing one 
of his impromptu gigs two months ago.
A wild fling followed, culminating in an all-night sex session at the 
party last month. Now Doherty has told the Mirror: "It is a beautiful 
thing. I am a different person after meeting Kate.
"I am happy. Who wouldn't be. It's all in my hands. I want to make it 
work. I've been given a second chance.
"The drugs have got to stop or I'll lose her. I owe it to her. I owe 
it to everyone."
In a further chat with pals, he added: "I am smitten. But she has 
been pursuing me relentlessly.
"She is very demanding. Always wanting my attention. It is 
interfering with the band. Music is the most important thing.
"But I am in love with her, totally. She is really sweet. We are 
soulmates.
"Kate did not expect me to stop or quit drugs immediately. She loves 
me and wants me to get out of this mess once and for all."
After his initial week-long rehabilitation in Ealing, West London, he 
and Kate are planning to spend up to six months together in St 
Petersburg, until he has beaten his drugs nightmare.
The couple are discussing having children. Kate already has a two-
year-old daughter Lila Grace, by ex-partner Jefferson Hack. Doherty 
has an 18-month-old son.
She realises his drugs craving is too strong to give up without 
expert help.
But his addiction is causing trouble between them. Doherty 
said: "It's a difficult time at the moment, we've had a bit of a row.
"It's the usual s**t, she wasn't happy about newspaper pictures of me 
looking wrecked. I'm worried I've f****d it up as usual."
ON FAME
DOHERTY was shocked by newspaper photos of him looking wrecked as he 
left a gig on Monday.
He kicked one paper across the floor and said: "I hate it, just like 
everyone hates seeing pictures of themselves, especially when they 
are off their heads.
"I don't look like that, do I? It's photo-shock, I'm sure.
"I have been gutted reading about 'Kate and the crackhead' but I 
knows it's true. My family have been hassling too.
"But people who love my music understand me. I write stuff on my 
website and feel very close to them."
ON REHAB
EMACIATED Doherty will be sedated for three days on Monday at the 
start of his rehabilitation programme.
He is committed to beating his devastating addiction to ensure his 
future with Kate.
It promises to be a daunting task. In the early hours of Wednesday, 
he was "'chasing the dragon" in a crack den in East London.
After a curtailed set in a nearby pub, Doherty, dressed head to toe 
in black and with a huge spliff stuck in his trilby hat, clambered 
into a car and disappeared for an all-night drugs session.
Doherty, whose three previous visits to rehab centres have failed, 
will embark on his latest attempt to kick his habit in Ealing, West 
London, with pal Peter Wolfe.
The treatment will involve having a chemical device planted in their 
bodies, which coats any remaining heroin in the system and suffocates 
its effect.
Later, as Doherty and Kate Moss head to St Petersburg, Wolfe and his 
girlfriend Gemma - 21-year-old daughter of Star Wars director George -
 will make for Biarritz in France.
ON BEING A DAD
PETE Doherty touched on his pain at rarely seeing 18-month-old son 
Estile, by ex-girlfriend Lisa Moorish.
He said: "I did see my kid last week. I do see him sometimes, but not 
that often, I must admit. It is hard.
"I'm between places at the moment, I always seem to be between 
places. I haven't had a real home for years. I suppose I'm homeless 
really."
But he told a pal that he and Kate had already discussed having 
children. "It can happen. We both have a young child from previous 
relationships. It might even make us last."
Lisa Moorish also has a child with Liam Gallagher.
WOLFMAN ON PETE THE POET
DOHERTY is so in awe of friend Peter Wolfe that he named his new band 
Babyshambles after him - Wolfe's mum called him Shambles and pals 
looked on Doherty as Wolfe's baby.
Wolfe, 36, who co-wrote Doherty's 2004 top 10 hit For Lovers, 
said: "Pete and I grew so close due to our love of music.
"I had been virtually living as a tramp but Pete saw through that and 
wasn't bothered. We were libertines. The same animals.
"We began to write together and think together and his love and 
support helped me through my marriage break-up."
Wolfe, who has had a book of poetry published, was on the books of 
Gillingham FC in the early 1980s with current Birmingham manager 
Steve Bruce. Doherty played football at county standard.
The two became friends after meeting in the Filthy McNasties pub in 
Islington, North London, in 2002. They were soon living together and 
Doherty landed his first record deal.
Wolfe, known as Wolfman in the music industry, said Doherty was a 
hybrid of erotic author Marquis de Sade, tennis legend John McEnroe 
and hapless TV comic Frank Spencer.
Wolfe said of Doherty's relationship: "Kate is besotted. She adores 
him. We all do. Pete is a lovable character.
"When Kate is with him she is natural, childlike. Her accent is the 
lost girl from Croydon.
"He doesn't treat her as a celebrity. Pete has done that for her. 
It's as if she's under his spell. She says she has never met anyone 
like him."
Wolfe added: "People find it so easy to write Pete off. He is a 
successful musician and is going out with the most beautiful girl in 
the world.
"It reminds me of the story of George Best when he was dating Miss 
World, and someone asked, 'George, where did it all go wrong'."
