Amy Winehouse’s husband sent back to jail after failing drugs test

Amy Winehouse’s husband Blake Fielder-Civil has been sent back to jail after breaching the conditions of his early release.

After being sentenced to 27 months in jail in July, Blake was released into rehab last month - but has been returned to jail after failing a drug test.

According to the Sun, he was told of his imminent return last night and skipped the curfew at the LifeWorks clinic in Surrey to visit Amy in hospital before his return to prison today: “Blake did a runner. He turned up in hospital and hell broke loose - everyone was totally shocked.

“He was asking Amy to forgive him. As he was going back inside anyway he felt he didn’t have much to lose.”

A source told the Mirror that Amy is angry about his slip-up - particularly as she paid £30,000 for his treatment at the private clinic: “He is devastated about going back inside. And she is furious that it all seems like a waste of money.

“Amy dipped into her own pocket to help turn his life around but now feels that it’ll all be thrown back in her face.

“She had finally started stepping up divorce proceedings again but he started phoning again and getting inside her mind. Now he is out of the picture again she can concentrate on getting her life on track.”

Blake is expected to now remain in jail until the end of his sentence in 2010. The Sun’s source explained: “If he had stayed in prison last month rather than taking the rehab option, he was set to be released at the end of this month. He’s blown it.”

Last month Blake appealed his sentencing, saying it was six months too long, but the Appeal Court dismissed his claims. He has been in jail since his arrest for assault and perverting the course of justice in November 2007.
