Amy Winehouse was the one who stopped her dad Mitch going into the I'm A Celebrity jungle this year.

The cab driver revealed on his Showbiz Rant show that he had been in talks with producers of the ITV1 show until Amy "went mad" and ruled it out.

He said: "When I told Amy I had the interview, she went mad, she says 'you're not doing it, dad'. She wouldn't let me do it."

When it was claimed that Amy Winehouse was going into hospital with a cold the other day, we have to admit we were a little suspicious.

After all, a woman of her former habits must have a stronger constitution than that!

Well now the singer's father Mitch has revealed that the cold line was just a smokescreen - and that she was really having problems with her newly enhanced bust.

Say what you like about Mitch Winehouse (go on), but you can't accuse him of not being loyal, or brave for that matter.

That's right, celebland's most self-destructive couple appear to be back on again.

Amy Winehouse is reported to have told her friends that she's back with former hubby Blake Fielder Civil - just three months after they divorced.

They've added fuel to the fire by changing their Facebook status to "married", and in a separate post Blake has written: "Can't argue with true love. What's the point?"

Amy Winehouse has been free of drugs for a year, according to her dad Mitch.

In possibly a first for Eleven, the news comes to you via a parliamentary select committee - because Mitch has been addressing MPs on the Home Affairs committee.

He was speaking to them about a forthcoming documentary in which he investigates rehabilitation facilities available for heroin addicts.

Their divorce was finalised in August - but she spent yesterday morning reminiscing with her former spouse through social networking website Facebook.

Amy Winehouse turned up looking immaculate at the first day of her trial, where she is accused of attacking a fan.

The star arrived at the court in pearls, a pinstripe suit, ballet pumps and her trademark beehive - and made a point of proving to photographers outside she was only 5ft 2in.

She claims she was spooked when the 5ft 7in woman "lunged" at her to have her photo taken. Amy said: "I was scared."

When asked if she was glad to be back, Amy replied: "I don't give a f***!"

Amy Winehouse has been banned from using the swimming pool at her luxury St Lucia resort.

Managers at the Cotton Bay complex were so worried by Amy's drunken diving sesions that they have refused to let her near the pool again.

A source said: "Staff have found Amy on a number of occasions collapsed on the grass by the pool after going for a swim."

Kelly Osbourne has ended her friendship with Amy Winehouse after the singer rearranged Kelly's "evil" furniture.

The daughter of Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne reportedly cancelled a planned trip to St Lucia because she doesn't want to run into her troubled former pal, who is living on the Caribbean island.

The pair, who were once bezzie mates, reportedly fell out last year when Amy stayed at Kelly's home and stunned Osbourne with her "out of control" behaviour.
