Barat: 'I'd work with Doherty again'

Former The Libertines star Carl Barat insists he'd love to team up with Pete Doherty again - despite the rocker's well-publicised drug and crime troubles.

Barat - who has since formed new group Dirty Pretty Things - reveals he was "devastated" when the singer left the band in 2004, after burgling his flat the previous year.

Nevertheless he would welcome a reunion when Doherty has sorted out his problems.

He says: "It devastated me. (Pete) was a shadow of the man.

"It would have killed me if I didn't have the support around me. The Libertines was my everything and my world fell apart.

"It's just sad and I wish he would sort it out. I would really like to work with him again some day.

"I don't deny that but I've not seen him really."
