Drug addled rocker Pete Doherty has celebrated rekindling his romance with supermodel Kate Moss by buying her a set of sexy underwear. The former Libertines guitarist reportedly splashed out ?300 on the designer Agent Provocateur knicker set to spice up things in the bedroom between the on-off pair. Pete bought a racy diamond lace thong, complete with suspenders and revealing matching bra, from famous London department store Selfridges. One fellow shopper said: "He looked lost but asked for help. The assistant asked what size he needed and he said it was for Kate Moss."

Kate got back with Pete earlier this week - after he allegedly set fire to his bed. Sources claim the Babyshambles frontman - who is a self-confessed heroin and crack addict - torched his bed in a "cry for help" aimed at the sexy supermodel, who is now back in his arms. A friend revealed: "It’s been a tough few weeks for Pete after he split with Kate. He was so frustrated he smashed up a guitar and set fire to his bed." When Kate heard about the incident, she reportedly invited him to stay at her country home to help him overcome his problems. They were later spotted enjoying a romantic meal at a Greek restaurant in London.

Kate Moss is buying rocker ex boyfriend Pete Doherty a ?15,000 anti-heroin implant - as a breaking up gift. The stunning supermodel split from the drug addicted Babyshambles frontman a few weeks ago after the troubled star was embroiled in a street fight.

Despite parting company with Pete, Kate is determined to help him get off drugs and is prepared to splash out the huge sum for an implant of naltrexone - which stops the highly addictive drug having any effect. A friend of the beauty revealed: "Pete is determined to get clean and Kate is supporting him. They are no longer lovers but she cares for him and wants him to get out of this mess. She has offered to pay for the implant."

It is not the first time the former Libertines singer has used naltrexone to try and get off drugs. Earlier this year, Pete managed to stay drug-free for five months after receiving an implant, following a brief stint in a rehabilitation clinic, shortly after he was arrested in February for assault.

Meanwhile, Kate has allegedly been spotted kissing Lenny Kravitz - sparking rumours of a romance between the pair. The stunning supermodel was seen enjoying a drink with the hunky guitarist in a trendy New York bar - just weeks after splitting from rocker boyfriend Pete Doherty - and according to onlookers the two stars were all over each.

Biography

It’s hard to believe that just a couple of years ago we didn’t even know who Pete Doherty was now that not a day goes by when another entry to the PD catalogue of disasters is published in the tabloids.

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.
