DOHERTY MUM'S ALL NIGHT VIGIL FOR SON

PETE DOHERTY's ongoing drug problems are putting a strain on his parents' marriage - because his mother JACKIE refuses to switch off her mobile phone at night in case she receives a call from the troubled British rocker.

The strain of being the mother of the BABYSHAMBLES frontman has led Jackie and her husband, also called PETER, to sleep in separate rooms.

The 52-year-old says, "I feel I have to be contactable at all times. So there is no peace in the house.

"I won't give up my son and I can't give up my husband. If my husband chose to leave me that's his decision."

The on/off boyfriend of supermodel KATE MOSS wasn't always such a cause for concern however - during his childhood Pete was a choirboy and aspiring poet.

Jackie explains, "I remember being so proud of all my children, who were bright, upright citizens. They would never take drugs or break the law.

"We haven't suffered as much as other families of junkies. He's never stolen from us, never beaten us for money."
