Amy Winehouse's incarcerated husband, Blake Fielder-Civil has been swapping signed pictures of his soul diva wife with his prison inmates - in exchange for heroin, it has been revealed. Fielder-Civil - who's currently locked up in London's Pentonville prison, has been swapping the signed pics with fellow lags who hope to cash in by selling them on eBay.
In return for the pics - they hand over a "Joey" – slang for a hit of heroin worth a few pounds.
A source said: "Blake has to pay for his gear somehow – and he has no qualms about cashing in on his wife’s fame.
"He’ll take orders from other inmates then ask Amy to bring in signed photos of herself during visits.
"He usually gets her to write a little personalized note to make it look authentic.
"Once he’s back on the wing he’ll swap these for Joeys.
"The boys think they’ll get a few quid for them on eBay. It’s not clear whether she knows exactly what’s going on . . . but she must find it strange that all these so-called prison hardmen have suddenly become starstruck Amy Winehouse fans."
Meanwhile, Blake is currently recovering in the hospital wing of the North London prison after taking a heroin overdose. Guards discovered the skinny runt writhing in pain and being violently sick in his cell.
