Midnight Celebrity: Amy Winehouse admits: “I’m a terrible drunk.”

Troubled singer Amy Winehouse has admitted: "I'm a terrible drunk."

The pop superstar insists heavy drinking is "worse than doing heroin" - but still admits to being a heavy drinker.

And despite her terrible problems with abuse, when it comes to rehab she still says No, No, No. "I'm of the school of thought where if you can't sort something out for yourself then no one can help you," she told a U.S. magazine "I don't know whether that's because I'm a strong woman.

"Drinking long-term is a lot worse than doing heroin. Alcohol's a real poison."

She then admitted: "I'm not a nice drunk.

"If I go to the gym and I have a drink, I'm lovely to be around and really sweet.

"But if I haven't been training or if there's something bothering me, I'm a terrible drunk."

Asked if her drinking gets her in trouble, she recalled: "I went to a restaurant recently and my friend was like, 'Do you remember the last time we were here? The head waiter carried you but and you were trying to punch and kick us'.

"When we left, I wrote on the bill, 'Sorry for the drama have a massive tip'."

Amy, talking to the U.S. edition of OK! Magazine, insists that she works so hard her drinking does not affect her work.

But she then admitted: "There are certain instances where I'll be out and I'll be drunk, and I'll come to work and I'll be shattered.

"Then there are other days where I'm like, 'Listen, if you want to have a nice day, please get me some alcohol'."

Amy insists she is not "bothered" by the attention given to her drastic weight loss. "I've lost the weight because I don't smoke weed anymore," she said. "I go to the gym, I drink a lot of water and I eat right."

She also insisted that part of the problem for her - and others like Posh Spice - is media manipulation of photographs. "I feel bad for Victoria Beckham because I see pictures of her and they've made her thighs look smaller," Amy said. "They've done that to me, and it's horrible.

"I've always had skinny little bird legs, but they've made them smaller."

Asked if she had a problem with food she would only say "not really".

She added: "I'm fussy, though. I'll eat West Indian, KFC, tuna salad, chicken soup - that's about all I eat."

The singer also revealed: "I don't even have a TV."

She added: "I played a gig in this little girl's bedroom the other day, and she had it better than me!

"I haven't got a TV in my house, let alone my bedroom."
