Police charged the 27-year-old star with failing to produce driving documents, driving with no insurance, driving a car with no MOT and driving a car while failing to comply with driving licence conditions.

He was bailed to appear at Thames Magistrates' Court on February 13.

It is understood police will take no further action against Doherty over allegations he was in possession of crack cocaine when he was arrested.

Police also charged two other occupants of Doherty's car who were arrested along with him on November 19.

Michelle Breeze, 30, a retail manager from Streatham, south London, was charged with two counts of possession of heroin.

Peter Wolfe, 38, a songwriter from Maidstone, Kent, was charged with possession of cocaine.

Both were also bailed to appear at Thames Magistrates' Court on February 13.

Doherty, the on-off boyfriend of supermodel Kate Moss, has waged a very public battle with drug addiction.

He has sought treatment at the Priory clinic in west London, as well as in France, Portugal and Thailand.
