Troubled star Pete Doherty says he will always love Kate Moss - but hinted that their relationship is "up and down" rather than completely over.

Doherty, 27, told Jonathon Ross on his BBC1 chatshow: "She's had enough, I think. I love her bones, I always will."

But the singer said of his turbulent relationship with the supermodel, which floundered after she was pictured allegedly taking cocaine: "It's right and wrong, up and down."

The former Libertines star said he was still attempting to give up drugs.

He said: "'Trying to stop?', Yes, absolutely ... being skint, drunk, paranoid? No, I don't wish that for myself.

"For the first time in my life I'm upping the stakes in my battle against it".

The Babyshambles singer added: "I get tested twice a week for crack and heroin, that's part of my court order.

"In Portugal they cut open my heroin implants so they couldn't be used".
He said of his spell in prison on drugs-related charges: 'F*****g yourself over isn't romantic, neither is being in jail.

"Being in jail was the cleanest I found myself - even though jails are riddled with drugs.

"Being clean means I can sit down and rediscover writing. My song-writing suffered, being on drugs."

The Queens Park Rangers fan said: "Up to the age of 14 all I wanted to do was play for QPR, I fancied myself as a bit of a (former footballer) Rodney Marsh.

"The highs (of fame) are given a fair old run for their money by the lows ... when they choose the worst photos it's upsetting for someone as vain as me to deal with".

He says of his former band The Libertines: "I just became persona non grata, I got booted out, it was just exile - I suppose because of the drugs but really because I didn't want to tour.

"None of them talk to me. Carl (Barat) ... we were best friends, we loved what we did, we took it right to the end".
