Amy Winehouse could commit suicide

There are fears that Amy Winehouse will commit suicide if her husband dies of an overdose, according to her father-in-law.

Giles told BBC Radio 5 Live: "They're very close to the edge. If one dies through substance abuse, the other may commit suicide."

His wife Georgette Fielder-Civil also fears Amy and Blake - who were pictured splattered in blood after a furious row last week - will die through drug abuse, saying: "I think they both need to get medical help before one of them, if not both of them, eventually dies."

Giles has no doubt in his mind Amy, 23, and Blake, 26, are serious drug addicts and regularly use cocaine, crack cocaine and heroin. He claims the pair are still in denial about the severity of their addictions.

Giles explained: "Georgette and I both believe that they are drug addicts, and they don't believe they are. I think they believe they are recreational users of drugs, and they are in control, but it seems to Georgette and I that this isn't the case.

"They are going through abject denial at the moment. They don't see themselves as having a problem and they are quite aggressive in defence of themselves."
