Peter Doherty hires a personal trainer

Troubled British rocker Pete Doherty has a new woman in his life - a personal trainer.

According to reports, the 28-year-old 'Babyshambles' frontman wants to get into shape as part of his attempt to kick drugs and stay healthy.

Doherty - who last year split from supermodel Kate Moss, is said to be in training 6 days-a-week with a fitness coach called Jess.

"Peter works out with Jess every day," a source told Britain's Daily Star newspaper. "They run together, do weights and three times a week work out with Pilates moves."

Pete is preparing to run the London Marathon so will have to be on top form.

Meanwhile, Pete has reportedly told friends he wants to crack America.

"Pete is sure he can crack the US. He has been saying that as they let The Beatles in, he should be fine," a source told British newspaper The Sun.

The rocker is also said to be in talk with some of America's most influential music publications - and has got himself the cover of at least one magazine.
