In February, the 28-year-old was also warned he faced being locked up if he was caught driving illegally again after admitting motoring charges.

Doherty spent five days in jail on remand in 2005 before blackmail and robbery charges were dropped. In 2003, he was jailed for burgling an ex-bandmate's flat.
