Rock star and self-confessed crack addict, Pete Doherty, has spoken for the first time about his love for supermodel Kate Moss and revealed the couple are now sporting matching tattoos.

The former Libertines frontman, who hooked up with the Croydon-born style icon at her 31st birthday party earlier this month, also believes the relationship will help him kick drugs for good.

"It's been the best week in a long time because I've really found love with Kate. I think it will last. She's good for me because she's got a beautiful soul and I think I can trust her," he told ITV's Orange Playlist.

"I think I can be trusted and she can trust me. I believe her when she says she loves me and I know I mean it when I say I love her.

"We got each other's initial tattooed in little hearts. I had a K in a heart. I'm kicking drugs for her too."

Party-loving Kate has dated a string of men in the last few years - aside from an on-off relationship with Jefferson Hack, the father of her young daughter Lila, she’s also been linked with actor Daniel Craig, Har Mar Superstar and Johnny Knoxville. Doherty has a son, Emile, with singer Lisa Moorish, who also fathered a love-child with Liam Gallagher.
