Pete Doherty has reportedly claimed he “leaked” the home video of him with girlfriend Kate Moss to help them land a record deal together.

Pete is quoted in the Mirror as saying: “We’re writing songs together and trying to get signed.”

“People have been saying that Kate’s annoyed at the video being posted but she said I should do it.”

“It takes a long time to get signed these days and we thought we would post stuff on my website to speed things up a bit.”

“That clip is about a month old and I’ve got a few more to post online as well. I would have done it sooner but I’ve only just got the hang of the technology.”
