Libertines star Pete Doherty has revealed the extraordinary lengths he went to sustain his drug addiction ahead of a potential jail stint.<\/p>\n

The musician's struggles with drugs have been well documented and, nowadays, has regular injections to prevent heroin having any effect on him.<\/p>\n

At the height of his troubles, in 2007, he came close to being jailed for possessing heroin "with intent to supply". And he was fully prepared to go to prison.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Louis Theroux in an interview airing tonight (November 14), the troubled musician revealed: \u201cWhen I walked into court I had some drugs stuffed up my arse in case they sent me down.\u201d<\/p>\n

The \u201chellraiser with an extensive list of hits and criminal convictions\u201d now lives in a secluded French country cottage with his wife and baby daughters, but still enjoys the occasional glass of rum.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a far cry from the years when he made regular headlines for his relationship with supermodel Kate Moss and his 15 convictions for drugs and other offences. \u201cI\u2019m proud of being banned from London,\u201d he laughs.<\/p>\n

No longer the skinny drug fiend of the early 2000s, Pete is these days a portly character who has clearly tucked away more than one Margate fry-up. He says he plays occasional songs in his local restaurant in exchange for a free feed, but has been warned by his doctor that he needs to change his diet if he wants to avoid developing diabetes.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s devoted to his French film-maker wife Katya, and his little daughter Billie-Mae. \u201cI do have two other children but I wasn\u2019t part of their upbringing,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n
