Amy Winehouse’s husband urges her to beat bulimia
Imprisonment has reportedly helped Amy Winehouse’s husband Blake Fielder-Civil see his wife more clearly and he has urged her to beat her long-standing eating disorder or it will kill her.
Amy has previously admitted having problems with bulimia but despite her currently skinny physique, now insists it is all behind her. However, when she visited husband Blake in Pentonville prison on Wednesday, her husband of six months is said to have thought differently.
The News of the World quotes Blake as telling Amy: “I’m really concerned about you. You are far too thin.”
“For the first time in months I’ve been eating three square meals a day. I feel so much better. But you are taking drugs, not eating and now you are fainting.”
“You have got to eat properly and stop sticking your finger down your throat. Bulimia is taking a terrible toll on you.”
Blake was held on remand last weekend on suspicion of perverting the course of justice after allegedly paying off the key witness in his ongoing assault case. Blake is said to have initially found prison life difficult but a family friend told the newspaper he is now coping better and developing perspective on his life.
The source said: “Blake’s grown stronger in prison and has been able to re-evaluate his life. But Amy’s got weaker without him. She’s living off drink and drugs.”
“Blake reads the papers inside and is fully aware of how she has been behaving. He speaks to her every day on the phone and has pleaded with her to be stronger. He has tried to comfort his wife and steer her in the right direction.”
