Pete Doherty has promised lover Kate Moss he will kick heroin for good to be with her.

The Babyshambles frontman - who is due to appear in court on seven charges of drugs possession later this week - insists he is determined to beat his addictions for his supermodel girlfriend.

He said: "It took me a while to realise but there are people who care about me so I'm doing it for them. No. I'm doing it for a special person who I want in my life forever, Kate."

To help him stay off heroin, the troubled rocker has been fitted with a special implant, placed under his skin.

He is quoted as saying: "I'm off the brown. Look, I've got this implant now."

Pete and Kate rekindled their on/off romance earlier this month and engagement rumours were sparked after the catwalk queen was spotted with a jewel-encrusted band on her ring finger.

However, the couple insist they are not engaged and have no plans to tie the knot anytime soon.
