Controversial rocker Pete Doherty was back in Reading to play a secret gig. But first the Babyshambles frontman visited the toilet in the Royal Albion before leaving and walking unaided down Oxford Road.

muckspReading met Doherty as he popped into the gents shortly after ordering a pint of Stella. He entered one of the cubicles and used 6 sheets of toilet paper. This is Doherty’s latest frolic into West Reading. He has been seen out and about in the area a number of times over the past month and is rumoured to be dating a local girl.

He told muckspReading: "Will you get out of my bloody way? Can't a man have a pint in peace anymore?" Kate Moss’s former beau had been into the toilet previously but had to leave because he couldn't go with someone standing too close to him.

The landlord said he was delighted when he saw the talented but controversial rock star walk in. "I saw him looking through the window and then he came in," he said. "He asked if he could pop into the loo, but I said that it was for customers only, so he bought a pint and then made use of the facilities. I thought he was a really nice guy and he was happy to chat, but he got a little bit uncomfortable when a crowd gathered in there. I think that's why he used a cubicle."
