Babyshambles singer Pete Doherty has been arrested on suspicion of possessing illegal drugs, according to the police.

The latest arrest comes only days after the 26-year-old singer pleaded guilty to possessing heroin and cocaine in a London court.

A police spokesperson said that Doherty had been arrested early on Saturday for alleged possession of class A and class C drugs.

He is also suspected of driving under the influence of illicit drugs. He has been released on bail and is due to appear at a London police station on 2 February "pending analysis of substances" which were found.

The singer is already due to reappear in court on 8 February after pleading guilty to possessing heroin and cocaine last week.
