Pete Doherty has been caught at customs with 1.7 grams of crack cocaine and 1.5 grams of heroin.

The rock star, Kate Moss's on- off boyfriend, was held at Oslo airport for four hours after he and a friend were found to have the class-A drugs.

The Babyshambles front man and his companion were fined £700 each for possession.

The detention delayed a Babyshambles appearance at a rock festival on Friday .

Doherty, former singer of The Libertines, was due to play at the Oya rock festival in Oslo's Medieval Park.

He eventually appeared on stage at 10.30pm, five hours late, after festival organisers paid for his release.
