Pete Doherty has paid a poet around £10,000 over claims he stole lyrics for a Babyshambles song from one of his poems.

Nick Toczek claimed that a line from his poem 'Stiff With A Quiff', written in 1983, is exactly the same as one which features in Babyshambles 'Baddie's Boogie', taken from their second album 'Shotter's Nation'.

The line in question is: "It’s a lousy life for the washed up wife of a permanently plastered, pissed up bastard."

Kate Moss, Doherty's ex-girlfriend, was also credited as a writer on 'Baddie's Boogie' but the 5 year long court case has seen her name scrubbed from the credits.

"I got my solicitor on to this within weeks of the album being released," Toczek told the Daily Mail. "After that, Kate Moss' name never appeared among the writing credits for 'Baddie's Boogie'."

Adding: "It is daft because if Pete Doherty had just picked up the phone and rung me and said can we use your lyrics, I would have said yes, just give me a credit."

Just last week Doherty was in the headlines after it was revealed he had been thrown out of a rehab facility for being a disruptive influence on fellow patients.
