Big night follows Doherty's court date

Pete Doherty threw water over a photographer then turned up 45 minutes late for a gig - hours after telling a court he was "keen" to give up drugs.

The pop star emerged from Kate Moss's home in St John's Wood, London, on Wednesday, to chuck a bucket of water over waiting Oliver Polter.

Pictures in the Daily Mail show him slinging the liquid - then a drenched and angry snapper.

Doherty later appeared on stage three-quarters-of-an-hour late at a performance with Babyshambles. He took to the stage at Studio 88 as part of the Camden Crawl event before playing five songs, throwing his equipment into the crowd then leaving, reports the NME.

Earlier that day a judge at Thames Magistrates’ Court praised him for his progress under a drug treatment order.
