Pete Doherty has admitted he cheated drug tests while in prison.The Babyshambles frontman, who recently left London's Wormwood Scrubs Prison, claims he only got his drug-free certificate because he used another inmate's urine.He said in an interview with NME magazine: "I was banging it. The only time I tested clean was when I used someone else's p**s."Pete also revealed how terrified he was during his incarceration at the tough jail after one prisoner threatened to stab him.He said: "It was quite hard work. Constant shouting, 'Pete, is Kate Moss a good s**g? Give us a song.'"I woke up to hear, 'You wait, I'm going to see you outside and stab you up.' "Despite his drug boasts, the 29-year-old rocker realised his substance abuse had spiralled out of control when he attacked one of his beloved cats.He added: "I got a shovel and was going to kill one of the cats. It was a bit of a crazy time."The hell-raising musician has also confirmed he will be working on a follow-up to Babyshambles' Shotters Nation album.




Pete added: "That will keep me busy and, hopefully, out of trouble."He also revealed singer and pal Amy Winehouse is working on new material with the band.Doherty confirmed the Rehab singer teamed up with guitarist Mick Whitnall in the studio while he was in London's Wormwood Scrubs Prison.He told Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "Mick and Amy have a great relationship. They have been working on material while I was in prison." The collaboration, first sounded out last year, is tipped to be released as a single and will appear on the next Babyshambles album.- BANG!
