Babyshambles singer Pete Doherty has been detained aboard an EasyJet flight in Barcelona after a syringe was found in the aircraft's toilet, according to an airline spokeswoman.
Police are said to be searching the plane as it sits on the runway with 142 passengers aboard, the Easyjet spokeswoman added.
The captain of the flight from London Gatwick radioed ahead to ask police to meet the flight at Barcelona's El Prat airport.
