Amy Winehouse is being forced to pay her husband's £300,000 legal bill, it has been revealed. Winehouse, 24, will have to pay legal costs which could reach up to £500,000 ($1m) after Blake's appeal for legal aid to fight charges of assault and perverting the course of justice was rejected.
Fielder-Civil - who's currently locked up in London's Pentonville prison, where he awaits trial, has been accused of offering a barman £200,000 to change his story, after Blake and a friend were accused of assault.
Amy's father Mitch has spoken out, defending his troubled daughter over claims made by Blake's mother Georgette that she has neglected her husband in prison, telling Britain's Grazia magazine: "Amy is going to pay for his legal team and that will be a lot of money.
"I don't see how anyone can say she's not doing anything for him. His mother hasn't been forthcoming with an offer to out her hand in her pocket, so maybe she should keep her opinions to herself."
Taxi driver Mitch, 57, also dismissed reports that Amy - who was arrested yesterday - has made a prison suicide pact with Blake.
He added: "It's nonsense. Amy is on the road to recovery and there's no way she would ever consider that."
However, Mitch did admit that the 'Rehab' star is still struggling with insecurity issues and suffering from depression.
He said: "It's clear there are issues of self-image, self-loathing. We were recently looking at photographs of her five years ago, where she was curvy and she said, 'I look really happy there.'
"I said, 'Aren't you happy now, darling?' And she said, 'I've been happier.'
"I know the real problem is that she's depressed about Blake being in prison."
