    Amy Winehouse: 'I'm The Least Racist Person Going'

    Amy Winehouse has apologised for footage that appears to show her singing a 'racist' song.

    In the video, which was published in the News of the World, Winehouse and a friend sing a rendition of the song ‘Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes’ with the original words replaced.

    They repeatedly sing: "Blacks, Pakis, Gooks and Nips, Gooks and Nips.”

    Speaking about the footage, Winehouse told photographers outside her North London home yesterday (June 9th): “I don't want to play anything down, but I'm the least racist person going."

    The video was reportedly shot by the singer's husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, who can be heard encouraging Winehouse and her friend to sing, reports the Associated Press.

    Yesterday it was revealed that Fielder-Civil had pleaded guilty to assaulting a man and then trying to cover it up.

    If found guilty of the incident, which took place outside a pub in London in 2006, Winehouse's husband could face a maximum of five years in jail.

    Winehouse emerged briefly yesterday to sign autographs for fans. You can see the pictures below...
