EXCLUSIVE: KATE: IT'S OVER
She tells junkie Pete to pack his bags after singer's drunken fight in street
By Stephen Moyes
Pete Doherty & Kate Moss
KATE Moss has dumped Pete Doherty after the crack addict got into a violent street brawl.
The supermodel is so fed up worrying about the wayward singer, she ordered him to move out of her country mansion.
Before leaving for a modelling job in America, she told him in a tearful call: "Make sure your bags are gone by the time I return."

Doherty, 29, had to flee from a gang of Somalis after he got into a fight with them. He hid in a shop but they smashed in the front door.
Mum-of-one Kate, 31, told friends: "I still love Pete but can't put up with his unpredictability any more. It's not like I'm 17 and don't mind not knowing where he is and who he is with.
"I love him so much and he has broken my heart. I feel like a devastated schoolgirl."
Violence flared on Friday after junkie Doherty went boozing with guitarist friend Alan Wass in North London. A group of youths shouted "crackhead" at him and a fight broke out.
A friend said: "Pete was badly shaken. They were cornered in a shop and all hell broke loose.
"He took a couple of blows to the head before he managed to get out. He was worried he could have been beaten to a pulp. Pete demonstrated just why Kate has grown so frustrated with him."
Farid Khan, 30, of Supersave store in Camden Town, said: "The singer ran in pursued by six men. There was a big fight. We got the Somalis out but they hurled a brick at the door."
Kate, who has a daughter, Lila Grace, two, still hopes to pursue a singing career with Doherty.
She was behind him ditching manager James Mullord. But Kate, who asked Doherty to move into her Oxfordshire mansion two months ago, told a friend: "I can't go on spending day and night worrying about Pete. He would disappear without a word and I would not hear from him for days.
"He never listens to me. He doesn't care about me. We have rowed so much, I'm exhausted. He has to change his lifestyle. Until that happens, we are finished."
A friend of Doherty said: "We're worried how Pete will react to being dumped. For all their ups and downs, and despite his wild ways, he really loves Kate."
Scotland Yard said of the street fight: "We were called to reports of an altercation. A man was arrested."
The Mirror told last week how Doherty exchanged blows with his friend James Mullord after telling him he was sacked.

JOHNNY DEEP
His fatherly advice to Doherty
HOLLYWOOD hunk Johnny Depp must still be fond of his former fiancee Kate Moss - why else would he bother warning Pete Doherty to get his act together?
ADVICE: Johnny

The 42-year-old Charlie And The Chocolate Factory star, who split up with Kate in 1998 after a four-year romance, was keen to check out the latest man in her life when all three met up for lunch recently.
And former hellraiser Johnny, who has since settled down into domestic bliss with French singer Vanessa Paradis and their children - Lily-Rose, six, and three-year-old Jack - wasted no time telling the junkie Babyshambles singer to sort himself out and steer clear of trouble.
Our spy reveals: "Johnny had come to London for the film's premiere and was determined to catch up with Kate and meet Pete for the first time.
"Johnny is still close to Kate and they've remained friends. Since she had her daughter Lila Grace, two years ago, he's been increasingly concerned for her and wants to make sure she is in good hands.
"Peoplehad warned Johnny that Pete was trouble but he never likes to judge a book by its cover. He wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt.
"He had obviously heard about Pete's wild, rock star antics and was concerned for Kate, so he took him aside for a one-to-one.
"They were having a real heart to heart. Johnny was saying how having children had changed his life and that Pete should focus on raising his son Estille [by singer Lisa Moorish] and on being a good father."
Johnny certainly knows what he's talking about. In 1994 he was arrested for trashing a hotel suite in New York and in 1999 he was snapped scrapping with paparazzi outside a London restaurant. But since becoming a dad he has put his wild ways behind him.
WARNED: Doherty
Unfortunately, his advice fell on deaf ears. Last Friday, 29-year-old Pete got into a boozy street brawl with a group of youths. He fled into a shop but the gang smashed in the front door looking for him.
This incident also proved the last straw for Kate, who broke off their engagement and ordered him out of her mansion in Oxfordshire.
Pete then made an emotional call to 3am, wanting to publicly apologise to Sir Bob Geldof and rubbishing his earlier claims about 16-year-old Peaches Geldof grabbing his bum before his Live 8 duet with Sir Elton John.
None of which should impress either Kate or Pirates Of The Caribbean star Johnny.
Let's hope Pete doesn't run into the swashbuckling star again soon. We bet Johnny would have him walking the plank.
