Then his girlfriend split with him, forcing him to move out of her north London apartment."Although Jonathan spends a lot of time filming in Los Angeles these days he still needs somewhere to stay while working in London. So when a mutual friend suggested he and Pete could get a flat together, Jonathan jumped at the chance."Jonathan and the Babyshambles frontman - who recently completed a stint in rehab for drink and drug addiction - have started looking at properties and sources believe they will be a good influence on each other.One said: "Jonathan's friend knows that he has had a really rough time of it recently and that Pete has too."So he suggested Pete and Jonathan rent a place to help each other through their tough times. Jonathan thought it was a great idea and has started looking at flats in one block in east London. Pete thinks it's a great idea too."(C) BANG Media International
