Pete Doherty has spoken out about the bizarre video he appeared in alongside Amy Winehouse where the pair can be seen talking to mice - claiming they are her beloved pets.

The troubled British stars posted the strange clip on video-sharing website YouTube - which saw the Back To Black hitmaker use the rodents to pass on a message to her incarcerated husband Blake Fielder-Civil.

In the 42 second-long footage she seemingly makes reference to recent reports she is set to split from Fielder-Civil, saying, “Please don’t divorce mummy.”

But Doherty denies that there was anything erratic about the video - insisting Winehouse was taking care of the creatures after one had babies.

He tells music website Gigwise.com, “One of the mice gave birth didn’t it? I think it was Jennifer. She (Winehouse) was really fond of them.”
