Kate Moss has been getting jealous texts from her boyfriend while on holiday in Sardinia.

Kate, 34, is said to be "deliberately" flirting with handsome men to make her Kills star lover Jamie Hince - who didn't join her on the yachting holiday after they had a row - jealous.

A source told Britain's Daily Express newspaper: "Kate deliberately, and in full view of the photographers, chatted to a range of good looking male guests, friends of her pals Davinia Taylor and her husband Dave Gardner, who hosted the trip."

Among the texts, one written by Jamie, 39, is believed to have said: "Who's that hunk on the yacht you're gazing at?"

Kate's friend insists the supermodel has no intention of acting on her flirtations, saying: "Kate spent a lot of time on the yacht testing Jamie but refused to pick up the phone to him. That was her way of letting him sweat and making sure he really appreciates her."

Kate is expected to holiday in Thailand with Jamie later this year.

Earlier this month, it was reported Kate's ex-boyfriend, troubled rocker Pete Doherty, had been trying to win her back. He has apparently sent her a string of text messages, on the year anniversary of their original split.

It has also been rumoured he will turn the ashes of his recently deceased cat Shelley into a ring to present to Kate in a bid to rekindle their relationship.
