Troubled rocker Pete Doherty has started wearing his girlfriend's bras - in order to protect his "sore nipples". The Babyshambles frontman, 28 - who is currently in training for this year's London Marathon, complains his T-shirts are rubbing against his chest and has been borrowing his new girlfriend, 19-year-old model Portia Freeman's padded bras to ease the pain.
A source said: "He's doing so well. He's really serious about kicking drugs and this is really testing his will power and giving him a goal.
"All that is putting him off are his amazingly sore nipples, but Portia's underwear is really helping."
Portia - who has reportedly been dating the notorious rocker since last December - has also signed up for the grueling 26-mile race, which takes in place in April - and the couple even accompanied each other to the gym during a recent trip to Paris, where Pete played at the city's Olympia Theater.
Doherty - who entered rehab to tackle his addiction to heroin last year, is so determined to get into shape for the marathon, his friends say he has become obsessed with reaching his goal.
A source added to Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "Pete is showing the same devotion to marathon now as he did do to drugs. It's a much healthier obsession than heroin."
Earlier this week, it was revealed Portia - who has been described as a "clean-living" girl - fell for Pete after watching him perform in London before going back to his rented country mansion.
