The couple exchanged vows before a select few friends and family members in a forty minute ceremony held at their six star hotel villa overlooking the sea.

The presence of Miss Moss’s personal assistant perhaps to help plough through beaurocratic red tape - and Kate’s mother Linda and brother Nick being at the ceremony in Phuket - are being seen as an indication that a formal legally-binding ceremony took place.

After seeing in the New Year under a £100,000 fire works display alongside other hotel guests including the Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson, and her daughters Beatrice and Eugenie, the 32-year-old supermodel and Doherty, 27, retired to bed shortly before 1am, ahead of their big day.

Miss Moss is understood to have warned Doherty against late nights of drugs consumption in Thailand, where such behaviour can carry the death penalty.

Yesterday the pair were awoken with a room service breakfast before preparing, in different rooms, for the ceremony.

At 1.30pm Thai time - 6.30am UK time - the Babyshambles singer and Miss Moss exchanged vows in the picturesque private gardens of their five-bedroomed £4,500-per-night villa at the Amanpuri hotel.

Wearing a white Galliano shift dress and her blonde hair loose, Miss Moss looked on adoringly at her groom, who was dressed in an all-black linen suit and his trademark pork pie hat.

For the ceremony, the gardens and villa were decorated with flower petals, fragrant jasmine, orchids and a floral archway. White and pale pink lotus flowers decorated the pool.

With security at a maximum, staff guarded the perimeter of the villa, preventing any uninvited guests from wandering in.

UPDATE: I’m not really sure WHAT’S going on…Kate’s rep just releasesed a statement,

“Contrary to various entirely false media reports today, there has not been any kind of marriage ceremony in Thailand. She is on holiday,” her spokesman, Stuart Higgins, said in a statement Tuesday.

Those shorts are probably for her.  Damn her!

PETE Doherty has splashed out on a vintage Christian Dior “wedding dress” for his fiance Kate Moss… from a secondhand store. The befuddled Babyshambles frontman spent £120 on the outfit at a shop in North London. Pete, who lest us forget has a long history of drug abuse, is now hopeful that the world’s most famous supermodel - dubbed The Millionairess by his friends - will wear it when they wed at Marylebone Register Office. That’s despite the fact, of course, that Kate could have her pick of any garment in the world for her special day. I can also reveal that the couple - putting aside a brief bust-up during a visit to Kate’s countryside retreat in the Cotswolds - are more deeply in love than ever and have even co-written a love song. A friend said: “In typical Pete and Kate style, they still have their bust-ups - but there’s no doubt it’s full steam ahead for the wedding. And it seems like he’s set his heart on this dress for Kate to wear.” Pete - who was inter viewed and photographed by style-bible Vogue magazine last week - took a pal with him on his shopping trip. He found what he was looking for at second-hand store The Blue Carbuncle in his old stomping ground of Archway. An onlooker said: “Pete was immediately thrilled with the dress. He was saying how it would be perfect for Kate - and it certainly looked suitable for a cool wedding dress.”
