16-year-old 'disappears' with Doherty

A 16-year-old girl apparently hopped aboard the Babyshambles tour bus last night, prompting the police to mount a search.

According to the Daily Star, Natasha Ellis met Pete Doherty after the show in Carlisle and pleaded to join him for the Scottish leg of the tour.

A friend of Natasha told the newspaper how their party of four had been invited aboard the band's bus where Pete was "slagging off Kate (Moss)...saying all the drug allegations were true."

The bus then apparently started to move off heading for Scotland. Three of the girls protested and were thrown off. Meanwhile, Doherty let Natasha stay with him, offering promises of fame and fortune. “After that there was no stopping her. Pete told her: ‘You’re stunning; you could make it as a model. Come on with us and we’ll help you,'" explained the source.

Despite her friends' protests she then allegedly boarded a car driven by tour officials who agreed to take her to Scotland. Natasha's friends then told her mother who in turn contacted the police.
