Amy Winehouse’s mum has said she’s glad that her son-in-law Blake Fielder-Civil has been jailed, even temporarily, because she thinks it’ll give her famous daughter a chance to review the situation.

Speaking to First magazine recently, Janis Winehouse echoed Amy’s dad Mitch Winehouse’s earlier comments about Blake, saying she said “Thank God, he’s gone inside” when she heard Blake had been refused bail over his perverting the course of justice charge.

She went on: “I step back, look at life and think, well, they’ve put him away. I can see life taking care of the situation. I was more worried when they were together. I think, while they are apart, she will wake up and think, ‘What have I done?’”

“Again, it’s a sense of fate. Thank God he’s gone inside. Because it’s also a case of now he’s going to learn.”

She hopes the time the passionate couple spend apart will be good for the both of them and will help Amy face up to her addictions and other problems: “Everyone else can see it, but Amy chooses not to. I think he introduced her to them [drugs] and now she thinks, ‘Oh, this is good, this is OK.’ I think she’s still a child. Personally, I think it’s overtaken her a bit.”

“I hope Amy has not been taking drugs long enough for it to be a real addiction.”

“I don’t think she’s stupid enough to actually keep going. Most people who are hooked on heroin don’t have anything else in their life, but Amy has her music, her career, and a loving family.”

She added that she hopes Amy will also reassess her feelings for her husband of six months: “Amy’s got to love him for him, not because she feels sorry for him or because he’s got her doped up – not for anything other than that she has respect for him.”
