Amy Winehouse 'Dating Friend Of England Rugby Star'

Amy Winehouse has begun seeing a friend of England rugby star Danny Cipriani while on holiday in the Caribbean, according to reports.

21-year-old actor Josh Bowman, who is set to appear in a forthcoming BBC drama, has been pictured alongside the singer repeatedly over the past week.

He told the Sun newspaper: “She’s a cool girl, very nice, and we’re just very friendly. She’s a good laugh.

“It’s not been all party-party. I don’t drink much at all. I’m not a typical public schoolboy.”

It's understood that Winehouse, who flew to St Lucia before Christmas, only met Bowman for the first time on the island.

The actor is said to be a “close” personal friend of the England rugby player Danny Cipriani.

As previously reported on Gigwise, Winehouse has been summoned to appear in a Norwegian court on January 12th in her appeal against a drugs fine.

The singer, her husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, and another man were arrested by police outside a Bergen hotel in October 2007.

Winehouse was released by police after she agreed to pay a £294 fine, but the singer later contested the penalty alleging that claims had been made in her arrest.
