Now sir, are you on any medication currently?

Pete Doherty has been hospitalised following an injury sustained from a hedgehog spine.

The Libertines songwriter, who is gearing up to release an album with his band the Puta Madres, had been walking his dogs when the incident happened. He tweeted that the dogs had the hedgehog “in their gobs and I wrapped my hand in a T-shirt and freed the wee bugger and got a tiny cut. Cue three days in a van with a carefree attitude to potentially infected forefingers”. The wound later became infected.

Doherty shared pictures of his subsequent hospitalisation on social media. “Thank you to the wonderful men and women who work within the NHS . What absolute angels and a million times they deserve our respect and thanks.”

The injury forced him to cancel an appearance on BBC Radio 5 Live with Nihal Arthanayake.

My Doberman once carried a hedge pig for 2 miles.
