Pete Doherty banned from seeing son

Pete Doherty has been banned from seeing his son by ex-lover Lisa Moorish, according to the Sunday Mirror today.

Moorish is said to be unhappy at the Babyshambles star's habit of putting his music career and girlfriend Kate Moss before 18-month-old son, Estile.

"Lisa is finding it very difficult to keep Pete in Estile's life," a friend told the newspaper. "Pete is still battling his heroin demons and that has made him extremely unreliable. Sometimes he will see Estile every day for a week and then he'll disappear for weeks on end and have no contact at all.

"He doesn't stick to planned arrangements and hardly ever answers his phone - and that has really frustrated Lisa. Estile is very young and Lisa won't take the risk of him being messed about by Pete. It isn't fair on him.

"Lisa's main priority is to protect her son, which is why she has told Pete in no uncertain terms that she doesn't want him to see him any more."

Moorish has promised to let Doherty back into his son's life once he "gets himself sorted out".
