Amy Winehouse’s father, Mitch, has spoken out about his daughter’s problems with drugs.

Mr Winehouse has said that before his daughter met her husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, she hadn’t experimented with hard drugs.

“She was a complete opponent of hard drugs - in fact, she got up and said she couldn't understand why people in the music industry took hard drugs and that changed about six months ago when she got married to Blake,” explained Mr Winehouse.

He continued: "I'm not saying it's Blake's fault, what I'm saying is Amy's responsible for her own actions. However, it's a fact that the hard drugs coincided with their marriage." 

Despite Winehouse successfully cutting down on drinking, Mr Winehouse said that she is still battling a prominent problem with drugs and bulimia.

"We do think, where is it going to end up? And we don't know. But as I've said before, at the moment she decides that enough is enough, all the help that she needs will be in place,” reports AP.

He added: “Her Family are there, the doctors are there, the facilities are there should she wish to make use of them. We're not completely helpless, things are in position."
