Pete Doherty is due in court to face sentencing in just over two hours time, at 10am today (August 7).

The Babyshambles singer is due to appear at West London Magistrates Court after pleading guilty to possessing class A drugs on July 3.

The singer admitted possessing quantities of crack, heroin, cannabis and ketamine and two driving offences, plus the additional charge of failing to appear in court without reasonable excuse after he turned up late to last month’s hearing.

Since then Doherty has undergone a drug rehabilitation programme at the court’s request after he was warned he faced prison if he did not make efforts to clean-up.

Doherty is now set to appear in Court 4 to learn his fate, after he was stopped by police in Kensington[ High Street, central London, on May 5.
