Addicted: Amy admitted she has a drug problem and has flown to the US with husband Blake Fielder-Civil where the couple will receive treat for their addictions to cocaine and heroin

Amy, 23, made her confession just days after she collapsed after bingeing on a cocktail of heroin, ecstasy, cocaine and the horse tranquilliser ketamine. She was rushed to hospital to have her stomach pumped.

Georgette said: "I needed to know about Amy's problems and we had a chat - just the two of us - on the balcony.

"She told me she was addicted to heroin and cocaine and admitted 'It's silly, but you just get carried away'. "Blake and Amy feel at ease with us because we treat them as adults not naughty children and don't dictate to them.

Amy's father Mitch flipped after her friend Juliette Ashby revealed she suspected Amy and Blake of smoking heroin at the Hampshire hotel she had been booked into by the record company to recover from her overdose.

The couple were reported to have collected heroin from a dealer and smoked it until the early hours. Ashby revealed her concerns after she had gone into the singer's suite and spotted charred pieces of foil.

Amy denied she had taken the drug to father Mitch, but Georgette said she later admitted that she had.

Georgette said 'emotion's ran high' as Amy's father got upset and angry and blamed Blake, who Georgette admitted has had a drug problem since he was 20, for Amy's problems.

She said: "Mitch blamed Amy's husband and blew his top when Giles tried to defend him."

Primary school head teacher Giles added: "I didn't say anything back to him and didn't retaliate.

"He was getting highly emotional and kept blaming Blake for Amy's problems."

Georgette said: "Later Giles phoned him then he apologised unreservedly."

She added: "Ironically Mitch losing his temper at Giles has helped Amy and Blake.

"It has brought home the seriousness of their problems and they are now tackling them."

Amy, who was left in tears by the spectacle, then confessed to both families that she and Blake were heavily addicted to drugs.

But he and Winehouse, 23, both denied injecting heroin.

Georgette said: "We can't force them to give up drugs, it has to come from them, but we can encourage them to get help."

The couple flew to the US on the weekend to undergo an intensive counselling and detox treatment.
