Pete Doherty’s prison diaries have been printed by a national newspaper.

The Guardian has printed extracts from the diary of the Babyshambles frontman penned while he was on remand in prison.

Doherty writes that he felt “like a freak show” in prison, as other inmates screamed his name “like apes” at his cell door.

The singer mused: “Even life without drugs has gotta be better than this malarkey” and concluded that drugs were “eating away at your money, your love and your life.”
