Girls Aloud singer slams Doherty

Girls Aloud singer Cheryl Cole has criticised troubled British rocker Pete Doherty for glamorising heroin.

Girls Aloud singer Cheryl Cole has criticised troubled British rocker Pete Doherty for glamorising heroin.

The Babyshambles frontman has been arrested many times for possession of drugs, and Cole believes his reckless behaviour is putting out the wrong message to young fans.

She says: "That junkie idiot. The problem I have with him is that I've lost friends to heroin and I just don't get the idea of glorifying it.

"I think it's disgusting. There are enough drug problems going on without him being in the public eye for it and sticking needles in his arms in the press.

"If he kicks his habit, he'll be a lot more respected."
