Kate Moss' drug lover's needle shame

Sep 28, 2006, 14:46 GMT

Kate Moss' junkie rocker boyfriend, Pete Doherty, was seen buying two syringes from a chemist's - just days after leaving rehab.

The Babyshambles frontman - who left London's The Priory on Monday (25.09.06) after being treated for addictions to crack cocaine and heroine - was in Dublin, Ireland, to perform a gig, when he popped into a 'Health Express' to pick up the hypodermic needles yesterday lunchtime (27.09.06).

The singer left his model girlfriend - who was accompanying him on his sell-out Irish tour - in their suite at the Morrison Hotel as he sneaked off to the chemist's wearing a scruffy white T-shirt and a black suit.

Meanwhile, Doherty was overheard telling a friend that he was determined to stay clean for Moss.

After playing at the Ambassador in Dublin on Tuesday (28.09.06) the singer stated: "My new addiction is rehab."

He then told a friend: "I'm off the drugs and determined to stay off them. I'm more healthy than I've been in years. The only drugs I'm on at the moment is a little bit of booze.

"I'm going to do this for the lads and for Kate."

A posting on his website also insists he is staying sober.

He wrote: "No palming stones off scallies in alleys, not with the missus here anyway. Oh, and probation's weekly tests and court, and the wilful destruction of my entire life."
