HORSE DRUG KATE

KATE Moss turned into a "mad woman" after taking a potentially lethal 
cocktail of drugs including a horse tranquilliser, it was revealed last night.

She snorted line after line of cocaine and ketamine - known as 
Special K in drugs circles - after a night out at a London club.

A former model, who witnessed the wild bender, said she was "amazed" 
at the amount Kate got through.

She said: "We were at a party at a lovely flat by the Thames. Kate 
used a credit card to cut up the powder then hoovered hers up first. 
She was quite greedy. She was like a machine.

"Then she wiped her nose and started jumping around the room like a 
mad woman. She was going on about Special K, saying how great it was."

Ketamine has killed several users.

Kate, who has publicly apologised for her drug taking, is due to 
check into a rehab clinic today.

Yesterday the star, who is worth UKP 30million, had her contract with 
top jeweller H. Stern axed. Cosmetic firm Rimmel is considering her future.

The junkie supermodel admitted she suffered frightening 
hallucinations after taking the powerful sedative - nicknamed Special 
K -along with lines of cocaine in a mind-bending cocktail.

Kate, 31, also kept a secret stash of cocaine in an antique silver 
pendant around her neck - so she was never without a "hit" of the class A drug.

She was said to be "like a machine" as she snorted line after line of 
coke and Special K during a debauched night at a plush apartment in London.

A former model who witnessed the wild bender said she was "amazed" at 
the amount of drugs Kate got through.

She also claimed the catwalk queen - exposed as a cocaine user by the 
Mirror last week - invited her for a threesome with another man.

The source - who does not want to be named - ended up at the flat 
after meeting associates of Kate at West End club Kabaret in 2000.

She said: "My friend and I bumped into a couple of other people we 
knew at the club and someone said there was a party going on at his 
flat and asked if we would like to come back.

"When we arrived, Kate was already there in the kitchen with two 
other people. She was wearing a white vest and black jeans.

"She seemed quite hyper. She was moving her jaw in a weird way and 
her eyes were huge. I could tell straight away that she was on something.

"She was out of it and seemed really wired. She didn't look anything 
like she does when she is modelling. Her face was sweaty and her eyes 
were rolling. She was friendly and offered us a drink. She was 
drinking neat vodka with ice.

"I guess there were around six other people in the apartment when I 
was there, but I didn't know who they were.

"While we were in the kitchen, Kate got a white, over-sized dinner 
plate and put it under the grill to heat it up. I asked her what she 
was doing and she said, 'It's for the Special K'. I knew that meant ketamine.

"Once the plate was warm enough, she took it from under the grill, 
opened a packet up and poured this white powder on to the plate.

"She was saying how the warm plate helped fluff up the ketamine and 
made it easier to snort. She said it was what you do with Special K.

"Then she took control. She used a credit card to cut up the powder 
and then they snorted it with a straw. She definitely knew what she 
was doing. She hoovered hers up first. She was quite greedy about it. 
She was like a machine.

"Once she had snorted the line, she wiped her nose and started 
jumping around the room like a mad woman. She wouldn't stop talking. 
She was going on about Special K, saying how great it was. She said 
she had done a lot of it.

"She also said it was a great drug to mix with cocaine but said you 
had to be careful, because if you had too much you could hallucinate.

"She said she once did too much ketamine and started tripping out. 
She said she started seeing things and it scared her.

"After 10 minutes, we moved into the lounge. Kate did a line of coke 
off the table. I was amazed she was doing coke so soon after the ketamine.

"She couldn't stop talking and was also chain smoking. She was acting 
quite big-headed, and boasting about how much drugs she could do.

"Then she started dancing on her own in the room. She was gurning and 
her eyes were rolling.

"After a bit, she said, 'Okay, who's up for another line of K?' I 
couldn't believe it. The others said no, but she went back to the kitchen.

"I could see them heating up the plate again and snorting more 
ketamine. She came back into the lounge even more wired than before."

Once back in the living room, things turned even seedier as Kate 
began boasting about her sex life.

"She started talking about sex," said the source. "I was quite 
shocked by the things she was saying but she didn't seem to care.

"While all this was going on, she kept getting her own stash of 
cocaine out of a pendant. It was attached to a silver chain, about 
two inches long. It was like a miniature flask, with a spoon attached 
to the inside of the lid. She kept unscrewing the top, scooping some 
coke out and snorting it off the spoon.

"She was alternating between the pendant, the coke on the lounge 
table and the ketamine in the kitchen. I would guess I saw her 
snorting at least eight or nine lines of ketamine during the night."

The model - who has since quit the industry to raise her young son - 
says she was stunned when Kate made a pass at her. "She tried it on 
with me," she said. "She kept putting her hand on my leg and at one 
point tried to kiss me. I just told her I wasn't into that type of 
thing. Then she pointed to the bedroom and said, 'Do you want to come 
in there for some fun?' I said, 'No thanks'.

"Then she moved on to another girl, and they started kissing with 
tongues. I was really shocked.

"I'd never experienced a night like that one - and certainly haven't since."

Police are preparing a file on Kate and her friends that will be sent 
to the Crown Prosecution Service, which will decide whether to press charges.

Doherty: People Are Obsessed With My Missus

PETE Doherty says people are "obsessed" with the hype surrounding 
on/off girlfriend Kate Moss.

The Babyshambles frontman,, 26, said: "A lot of people basically are 
obsessed with the missus and I don't know really ... she's just a 
bird from South London. I can't get my head round it really."

Yesterday police confiscated alcohol from his band at breakfast-time. 
They were in Dundee on tour when they were stopped by police. A city 
by-law makes it an offence to drink in public. Police said they took 
the booze and let them go.

Meanwhile Kate's cocaine scandal cost her another contract yesterday 
when jeweller H. Stern cancelled it's current 60th anniversary campaign.

The company said: "H. Stern strongly condemns any type of drug use 
and abides by a long standing policy of zero tolerance of any substance abuse."

The company joined H&M and Burberry which have already cancelled 
deals. Chanel has said it would not be extending her contract.

But cosmetic giant Rimmel last night offered Kate hope when it 
praised her for publicly apologising over the drug scandal. It is 
reviewing its current deal.

Hack: I Will Save My Lila

KATE'S ex-partner Jefferson Hack yesterday dropped his strongest hint 
yet that he may try to take their daughter Lila Grace away from her.

Jefferson, 34, told friends: "My daughter is a beautiful girl - and I 
just hope I can turn things around for her. Many people have said she 
looks like me."

The publisher, doing a DJ set at a celeb party in East London, added 
"I'm glad to be here tonight after all the stuff that's going on with Kate."
