Arctic Monkey turns down Kate Moss

Arctic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner has declined Kate Moss' advances after heeding some motherly advice.

The model, no stranger to dating rock musicians, met Turner at one of band's gigs in February and took his phone number. He has since regretted the meeting because, according to The Sun, she has been calling and texting him asking to meet up.

Thrown by Moss' attention, Turner apparently sought advice from his mother Penny, who naturally urged him to steer clear of the model, bearing in mind her drug abuse scandals.

A source told the newspaper: “He was home in Sheffield when the phone rang and this girl said ‘Hi, it’s Kate’. He thought it was one of the girls he used to go to school with asking for free tickets. When he asked ‘Kate who?’ he freaked out when she said it was Kate Moss.

“She asked him if he wanted to meet up and he mumbled something about being busy with the band and he’d have to see. Then she followed it up with a few texts and he panicked and told his mum Penny."

Also convincing him to ignore Moss's texts was the fact that he was going out with someone from school at the time.
