Winehouse 'right as rain' after hospital dash

Troubled singer Amy Winehouse is as "right as rain" following her hospital scare, according to her father Mitch.

The 'Back To Black' hitmaker was rushed to hospital on Monday after suffering a reaction to medication at her London home.

The star was discharged from London's University College Hospital on Tuesday morning following a series of medical tests.

Mitch Winehouse insists his daughter is recovering well at home following the incident.

He says: "(She is) right as rain. Amy's responded well to treatment. I must admit, it was very frightening last night, seeing her in that state. But she is with good friends, not hangers-on.

"The doctors say it was an adverse reaction to prescription drugs or mixing them up. They are not sure exactly what happened and they have done tests on her. We are waiting for the results of the toxicology report later today."

Mitch also reveals that while his daughter was in hospital she asked him to pick up dinner for her.

He adds: "She's still got her appetite, at least. I took her about 20 pieces of (fast food chain) KFC chicken. But did she offer me any? No."

The singer, currently battling addictions to drink and drugs, has suffered a string of health problems this year, including a bout of infectious skin condition impetigo and traces of deadly lung disease emphysema.
