The Libertines frontman Pete Doherty is among the next set of celebrities that will be interviewed by Louis Theroux.

In the much-anticipated series, Pete will sit down with Britain's favourite documentarian for a chat on a forthcoming episode of his Louis Theroux Interviews series.

Theroux, 53, will also interview the likes of Dynasty star Dame Joan Collins, boxing heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua, singer-songwriter RAYE and 41-year-old Top Boy star Ashley Walters.

The in-depth one-on-one chats will be released across six episodes, which are set to air later at an unconfirmed date.

Where is Pete Doherty now?

Pete now lives in rural France with his wife and Puta Madres bandmate Katia.

A source close to him told The Sun: “While lockdown has been tough for so many people, Pete is honestly the happiest he’s ever been.

“He used to live a fast-paced, hedonistic lifestyle. He was the epitome of rock and roll. But the relaxed pace of life suits him more."

New Theroux series

Theroux said: "Working with the team on these six new programmes has been an enormous pleasure.

"The six guests are all distinctive and brilliant in different ways, all of them people who have endured setbacks and huge successes, and who have something to share with the world based on their journeys through life.

"We have tried to build on the success of the first six 'Louis Theroux Interviews', while pushing further this time into terrain that is gritty and difficult, exploring subjects like mental health, brushes with the law and political controversy."

The BBC said that the series - which was filmed in locations like New York City, Normandy, Glastonbury and the French Riviera - "will bring viewers closer than ever to some of the world’s most well-known personalities" and rely on Louis’ “signature immersive filming style”.
