Pete Doherty recollected thinking he had been kidnapped by two Russian artists when he made a triumphant return to TV on The Last Leg. The Libertines frontman, 43, made a rare TV appearance on the comedy series presented by Adam Hills and Josh Widdecombe, who had fervent admiration for the indie-pop legend all evening. His life of wildness in the noughties is well-known, detailed in his extraordinary memoir, but he left everyone astounded when he talked about a particularly stressful situation when he thought he had been taken hostage when two Russian artists confined him in a flat in Moscow.
‘When they were in London I put them up so they were supposed to put me up,’ he began.
‘They locked me in their flat and that was part of their installation but they didn’t inform me. It was frightening.
‘It was in this big brutalist style flat and there were no windows. I couldn’t get out. They filmed it all and transmitted it to the gallery.

‘That was their installation, me freaking out in the flat. It got really good reviews though.’
Subsequently on the show, Pete also performed a cover of Ewan MacColl’s Dirty Old Town in a tribute to Ukraine.
Naturally, with Pete’s TV appearances being so rare, fans were delighted to see him again.

‘I was totally taken aback at how remarkable a guest Pete Doherty was on The Last Leg? Truly marvellous stuff from him, all through it,’ said one viewer, while another concurred: ‘He has a good heart and a beautiful spirit.’
A third urged everyone to watch the episode, tweeting: ‘Pete Doherty on The Last Leg. If you have the means to watch it, you absolutely must. It gives me great joy to see him flourishing.’
The Last Leg is accessible to stream on All4.
