I've not quit rehab, insists Winehouse

Amy Winehouse insisted she’s heading back to rehab tonight – and only nipped home to pick up a guitar.

The troubled singer is being treated for reported drug addictions.

Tonight her husband Blake Fielder-Civil admitted Winehouse has “a few problems” but said: “She’s determined to get well.”

Winehouse was rushed to hospital last week after allegedly taking a cocktail of heroin, cocaine, ketamine and alcohol.

Interviewed by Radio 1 today outside her home in Camden, north London, the painfully thin 23-year-old claimed: “I’m fine. I’ve put on half a stone and I feel fine.”

Asked if newspaper reports of her drug abuse were true, she replied: “I wouldn’t say so, no.”

She was then driven away by a female friend and gave the thumbs up to fans.

Winehouse, whose biggest hit is Rehab, was said to have checked out early last night from the €15,000-a-week Causeway treatment centre in Essex.

But Fielder-Civil said: “It’s been a difficult time for me and Amy, the fact is we are still together and going back to the place tonight.

“We only came back to get a guitar, but of course in the paper that’s interpreted as we’re both so weak we left after three days. It’s the inevitable way the papers are trying to put you down when you're trying to do something positive.

“The main thing is that me and Amy are getting better. Don’t worry, she’s being looked after. We’re going back to this retreat. She’s determined to get well.

“It’s not as bad as everyone thinks but she’s fine, she’s loved and looked after.”

Asked about reports of the couple’s drug addictions, Fielder-Civil said: “I wouldn’t believe it. There’s a few problems there but certainly nothing of the magnitude that my mum was falsely quoted as saying.”

His mother Georgette was reported as saying that Winehouse confessed to heroin and cocaine addiction and told her: “It’s silly, but you just get carried away.”

The singer’s record company say she is suffering from “severe exhaustion”.
