Mitch Winehouse – father of Amy Winehouse – has been speaking out about his daughter again. Talking frankly about the state of his daughter’s life on This Morning, he revealed that she is making progress towards getting better, “She’s not drinking as heavily now as she was then, actually, but there are other problems. The other problem is the bulimia which is still apparent, although she’s put on about a stone in weight but it’s still affecting her health and there are problems with substance abuse as well. But again not as bad as has been reported.” He also once again hinted that Amy’s problems are down to the influence of her husband Blake. “It’s apparent in her music that she’s smoked dope for quite a while, probably from the age of 16 or 17, perhaps even earlier. She was a complete opponent of hard drugs. In fact, she got up and said she couldn’t understand why people in the music industry took hard drugs, but that changed about 6 months ago when she got married to Blake. And I’m not saying its Blake’s fault, what I’m saying is Amy’s responsible for her own actions. However, it’s a fact that the hard drugs coincided with their marriage.”
