Babyshambles singer Pete Doherty is in training to run next year’s London Marathon, according to reports.

Doherty apparently took up the sport after Ralph Bernard, a former marathon runner and owner of Capital Radio, invited him for a run in Wiltshire.

"Ralph knocked on Pete's door one day and they went for a run. Despite being completely out of shape, Pete enjoyed it and he's been out again and again," a ‘source’ told the Mirror.

Last night a Babyshambles spokesperson remained speculative about the claims: "There is some truth to this - you never know what could happen."

However, a spokesman for Capital Radio claimed that Bernard had definitely “persuaded Pete to try his luck” at next year's event.
