Dirty Pretty Things frontman Carl Barat has admitted that he has no immediate plans to return to the Libertines.

Barat was recently quoted as saying that he had “unfinished business” with the group, which also featured Babyshambles' Pete Doherty.

Speaking to BBC 6Music, Barat said he was “open to doing something in the future” but insisted there was “nothing on the horizon”.

"Well, we are going to have unfinished business... until we finish it,” he said.

The singer also confirmed that he was planning to work on a score for a film with producer Mark Ronson.

“I wanna do a track with him for this film about northern soul music... I can't get hold of him. Maybe he is ignoring me, I don’t know,” Barat said.
