Kate Moss has reportedly planning on spending the summer in the Caribbean to take her mind off splitting up from Pete Doherty.

A source close to the model told the Mirror that Kate thinks she needs to go “cold turkey” to get over him - not to see him around town or read about his antics in the press: “Kate wants to put distance between her and Pete. She is planning a trip to the tiny island she goes to when she wants to get away from it all. She knows the only way she can cure herself of Pete is by making sure she can’t see him.”

“She will probably go quite soon after [daughter] Lila finishes nursery for the summer holidays and will spend her time there sorting out her life. She knows that if she stays in London and sees Pete, she’ll be tempted to get back with him.”

“She has always said, ‘Lila loves me, I love Pete, Pete loves drugs.’ It’s been a wake-up call, but she’s determined that he is not going to ruin her career. Now she’s trying to do something about it before it’s too late.”

The friend added that Kate is also going to use the time refocus on her career: “Kate’s spent the past year looking like some down-and-out groupie. She’s absolutely ridiculously thin, even for her.”

“She’s realised that to stay at the top of her game she has to put the work in. She’s booked a special nutritionist to look at her body.”

“Kate fears she’s lost a lot of work through being with Pete. But it was really brought home to her when she went to New York. She was shocked at what a frosty reception she received from people who in the past had always supported her.”

“Also, her US modelling agency gave her a real dressing down about how she’s not been taking proper care of herself.”

“She’s always had young pretenders snapping at her heels, but now they’re tearing chunks out of her ankles. It was then the scales fell from her eyes. She still loves Pete, but she knows he’s a lost cause.”
