Pete Doherty accidentally froze a cat in the pond of his Marlborough home after it died.

The Babyshambles frontman turned solo star is reported to have a large collection of cats at his home.

But one was killed in a road accident and he decided not to use more traditional methods for its corpse.

"The cat got run over so I thought I'd give it a burial at sea - well, the pond", he said.

"But it didn't sink, it floated and then froze over. So there was this dead cat under the ice looking up at me. It was terrible."
