Babyshambles frontman Pete Doherty has apparently shocked organisers of a children's art exhibition by submitting one of his blood paintings.

It's understood that Doherty was asked by the We Love Marlborough arts and culture group to submit some of his artwork.

Doherty's blood art has risen in notoriety over recent months following exhibitions in London and Paris.
