Pete’s Piano Rows - July 10 2007
Whilst most couples may argue over their children or pets after a messy break-up, it seems that Pete Doherty and Kate Moss are rowing over custody of the rocker’s piano.
The couple reportedly split last week and snappers pictured removal men emptying the model’s house of all the Babyshambles frontman’s gear.
Pete was later seen in Spitalfields market, East London, and, according to The Sun, was heard shouting down the phone to at Kate "Where’s my piano? You better not have done anything with my piano!"
The couple’s on-off relationship has been subject to much speculation. At the weekend, reports claimed that Kate had had enough of Pete’s womanising ways - and that the 28-year-old had repeatedly cheated on her during their relationship.
A South African model, by the name of Lindi, said she felt "guilty" for spending the night with the Babyshambles rocker in - while he was said to still be dating Kate - but told friends she "had to do it".
Pete moves out? - July 5 2007
Removal men have apparently been pictured carting Pete Doherty’s stuff out of Kate Moss’s home.
But has he dumped her - or has she kicked him out?
According to some reports, the model was seething after the rocker was seen with a South African model and had lost patience with his battle to quit drugs - while others suggest the troubled singer has had enough of their rows.
A source told the Daily Mirror: "They had some terrible slanging matches over the weekend, some of the worst of their relationship. Kate is absolutely furious. She hates being made a fool of and gets incredibly jealous. She just won’t stand for infidelity."
According to the paper, Pete, due in rehab on July 16, has even pledged to go into the drug clinic early in an effort to win her back.
Another pal added: "Pete is in pieces. He adores Kate and the lifestyle that goes with being her boyfriend. He has messed her around before but she has always taken him back. But for the first time, it seems Kate really means business."
But The Metro suggests it was the other way round and Pete dumped Kate.
A friend told the paper: "Kate has been crying non-stop for days. She’s trying everything to get him hooked back on her but he has had enough of her keeping him on such a short leash."
Whichever is true, does this mean their rollercoaster relationship is finally over?
Kate and Pete split? - July 4 2007
Pete Doherty and Kate Moss are no longer living together, the troubled singer has accidentally let slip during a court hearing.
The Babyshambles frontman pleaded guilty to possessing Class A and Class C drugs and driving offences at West London Magistrates Court on Tuesday.
But when asked to give his address, the 28-year-old began to give Kate’s details, before correcting himself and saying: "Actually, that has changed," according to reports.
The troubled star then apparently broke down and wept as he admitted "personal problems" had triggered his law-breaking, the Daily Mail reports.
Meanwhile, a new lock was pictured on what is apparently the heavy wrought iron gates at Kate’s North London home on Tuesday, as Pete reportedly moved back to his flat in Hackney, East London.

A long and drawn out battle with drugs, an especially fiery relationship with Croydon’s favourite daughter and any number of bust ups and arrests has made the singer/songwriter one of Britain’s most recognisable faces (all be it a screwed up, sweaty zombie face).
Born on March 12 1979 in Hexham, Northumberland and living at various times in Liverpool, Shepherd’s Bush, Coventry, Dorset, Cyprus and Russia, Pete Doherty first came to the public’s attention as one half of the singing songwriting duo who fronted Britain’s must see band, The Libertines, who kick started the country’s new garage rock scene in 2002/03.
Debauched backstage shenanigans and frantic but brilliant shows saw The Libertines hit the headlines time and time again and their debut album, Up The Bracket, shot up the charts. However, the band’s success was to be short lived and numerous problems, between Pete and the rest of the band (specifically with best friend Carl Barat - the pair met when they became flatmates in Stoke Newington) saw them part ways but not before Pete hit the headlines for drink and drug problems which caused him to steal from his bandmates to feed his habit.
It was around this time that Lisa Moorish gave birth to Doherty’s child, Astile but, rather than settling down Pete carried on taking heroin, selling his ’My Drug Hell’ stories to any and every tabloid to pay for his out of control habit before being put in to several rehab clinics (including a Thai monastery), none of which have changed his ways.
Nonetheless he has managed to forge a career on his own, first working with Wolfman on For Lovers then forming Babyshambles, initially as a way to make money for.you guessed it! Now trying to get clean with the aid of Naltroxene after an arrest for assault, which resulted in some jail time as well as a curfew and constant supervision Pete is reportedly set to marry supermodel Kate Moss.
