Amy’s husband arrested
Amy Winehouse’s husband Blake Fielder-Civil was arrested last night over an alleged £200,000 plot to fix a trial. The singer clung to 25-year-old Blake as he was handcuffed, before being bundled into an unmarked car. Eight plain-clothed policemen escorted Blake from a flat in Bow, East London, while Amy weeped, “Baby, I love you. Baby I’ll be fine.” Blake and his friend Michael Brown have been accused of assault on barman James King and offering him cash to change his story. Last night, Amy’s mother-in-law Georgette said, “She’s totally distraught.” We'll bring you more on this story later…

Another Blue Peter scandal...
Tut Tut. Blue Peter is facing ANOTHER scandal after it admitted two competition winners were played by child actors. The BBC kids show says it used the children because it needed to “pad out” the competition. It’s the third recent scandal for the show, after bosses changed the results of a vote to name the show’s cat, and asked a visitor to fake being a competition winner. Six kids were picked to quiz Dead Ringers' actor Jon Culshaw, but a 13-year-old boy realised that two were from a drama agency, and hadn’t entered the competition. A Blue Peter spokesperson said the show’s staff would now be sent on an in-house “trust course.”
