Rock star Pete Doherty is due in court over drug charges this afternoon.

The Babyshambles singer, 26, faces four counts of possessing drugs, including morphine, heroin, crack cocaine and cannabis.

Officers arrested him on December 4 after pulling him over as he drove along Millfields Road in Hackney, east London.

Doherty, ex-boyfriend of supermodel Kate Moss, was bailed to return today. He will appear at Thames Magistrates' Court.
