Cheryl Tweedy will never apologize for calling Pete Doherty a "junkie idiot", because it's true.

The 23-year-old Girls Aloud singer stands by her comments about the Babyshambles frontman.

She said: "I'm sorry but it's true. I just don't think his picture should be printed. Young kids who are into that kind of music - they'll just see him as a hero. If someone then says, 'I've got some heroin here', and that kid thinks Pete is a hero and sees him making something of his life they might try it. I think it's disgusting."

Cheryl's bandmate Kimberley Walsh believes the people around Pete - whose girlfriend is supermodel Kate Moss - are partly to blame for his behaviour because they indulge him and make him drug-taking is OK.

Kimberley said: "The way he's treated by some people, it's almost saying his lifestyle is acceptable. But it's really not. I don't think we should accept what he does."
