Winehouse blows kisses to husband during trial

TROUBLED singer Amy Winehouse appeared unsteady on her feet yesterday as she rushed into court, almost missing her husband’s appearance.

Sporting her new bottle-blonde hairstyle, the slightly built performer first blew several kisses to Blake Fielder-Civil, who faces assault and conspiracy charges.

Shortly afterward, as he was led from the glass-fronted dock at Snaresbrook Crown Court, she twice whispered “I love you”, before loudly exclaiming: “I love you handsome, gorgeous one.”

Turning slightly towards a number of reporters in court, she added: “I am not talking to you.”

The singer then appeared even more unsteady as her mother-in-law, Georgette, helped her to leave court.

Her 25-year-old husband, of Jeffrey’s Place, Camden, north London, pleaded not guilty at an earlier hearing to causing grievous bodily harm with intent to pub landlord James King, of The White House, Risley Hall, Risley, Derbyshire.

He also faces an allegation he conspired with his alleged victim to pervert the course of justice and had been expected to be arraigned on that count yesterday. He is now expected to do that at a new hearing on February 29.

But King, 36-year-old licensee of Macbeths in Hoxton, east London, who was in the dock with him, denied the conspiracy charge.

So, too, did two other men — Michael Brown, 25, of Durand Close, Carshalton, Surrey, and Anthony Kelly, 25, of Constable House, Chalk Farm, north London.

The charge states: “On or before November 8, 2007, you conspired together to pervert the course of justice by preventing the prosecution of Michael Brown and Blake Fielder-Civil for an offence of causing grievous bodily harm to James King from taking its lawful course.”

Brown had also denied the grievous bodily harm with intent charge at an earlier hearing.

A fifth man in court, James Kennedy, of The Holdings, Hatfield, Hertfordshire, is also accused of taking part in the conspiracy.

The 19-year-old, the only one on bail, was not arraigned either and, like the others, has been relisted to appear in February. A five-week trial is due to begin on June 2.

Winehouse later left court in a silver BMW.

When the singer was asked how she felt, her mother-in-law replied: “She is fine, thanks.”
