Pete Doherty has been sentenced to 14 weeks in jail for breaking a probation order.

After a 30 minute hearing this afternoon at West London Magistrates' Court, a spokesperson for the court confirmed that the Babyshambles singer was jailed for "breach of time keeping, non compliance of his order and using different drugs".

Doherty was handed a two-year suspended jail term in October last year by district judge Davinder Lachar.

Lachar also gave Doherty a 12-month drug rehabilitation order, as well as an 18-month supervision order as part of the sentence.

He was also made to pay a £400 fine for driving without insurance and £75 for not possessing a valid MOT certificate.
