Rocker Pete Doherty is preparing to pay thousands of dollars in blackmail money over private film footage shot during his romance with supermodel Kate Moss.
The Libertines frontman began dating the British beauty in 2005 but they split in 2007 after a series of bust-ups over his ongoing drug addiction.
A former pal of Doherty's has now told the rocker he has various film footage of "private" moments between the couple, shot at her London home, and is demanding an undisclosed sum to hand over the tapes.
On Tuesday, Doherty was preparing to return to the UK from his Paris flat to collect the hush money and hand it over to the blackmailer in exchange for the footage.
He fears it will be leaked to a tabloid newspaper if he refuses to pay.
