Ronnie Wood has revealed he urged Kate Moss to dump Pete Doherty.

The Rolling Stones guitarist warned the supermodel the troubled rocker was not good for her and advised her to get rid of him.

He said: "Someone had to do it. Well, he wasn't exactly very good for her, was he? I was just encouraging her, saying 'Go on, girl. I'm glad you've got rid of him.' "

When Kate eventually split from the Babyshambles star she stayed at Ronnie's Surrey mansion to get over the break-up.

However, the 60-year-old musician's attempts to console Kate may have been in vain as last week it was reported she had rekindled her romance with Pete.

The 33-year-old catwalk beauty - who dumped Pete in June after he apparently cheated on her with South African model Lindi Hingston - is said to have spent five nights with Pete at exclusive London hotel Claridge's.

Sources claimed Kate, who has just returned from a holiday in Spain, had been miserable since the split and told Pete she wanted him back.

One said: "Kate has been like a moth to the flame. When she got back to Britain, they met up at the hotel. He cried and she cried. She said she had been avoiding him because she had promised everyone from her managers to her mother that she would. She told him, 'It's not me. It's just what they all

made me do.' "

During one late-night heart-to heart, Kate is believed to have told Pete she was "miserable without him and desperately happy with him."
