Amy Winehouse mother has said the singer is “in denial” over her addiction to drugs and continues to drink heavily, in an interview with ITV News. “The need to rescue her is enormous. Amy is in denial all the time," Janice Winehouse explains. “I just want her to be OK and I would do whatever it took to make that right. Amy is in denial all the time. She probably feels trapped, her body is trapping her. But I know with addiction you do not have the choice because the substance itself directs you.” Amy’s father Mitch said he’d recently seen recovery in his daughter but explained his frustration at trying to help her. “I tried it all - I said, 'Amy you've got to do this, you've got to go to this doctor, you've got to do this, you've got to do that, you're killing me, you're killing your mum'. None of it worked," he explained before talking of his fear of a reunion between Amy and her estranged husband Blake Fielder-Civil. “The option of them being together is too horrible to contemplate. They are going to get divorced and who knows what's going to happen down the line.”
