Amy Winehouse argues with dad

Amy Winehouse had a furious row with her dad after he said he wanted the troubled singer sectioned.

Taxi driver Mitch, 57, received a four-letter tirade from his daughter after returning home from his holiday in Tenerife.

A source said: "Amy's father arrived, went into her house and gave her a massive b******ing.

"You could just hear screaming and shouting inside.

"He was telling her, 'You've got to f***ing pull yourself together.' We just heard swearing and shouting. Amy was furious with him and he is at the end of his tether with her.

"He thought they had all turned a corner but things seem to be unraveling again by the day."

Mitch had previously told the press: "I want her sectioned. The situation is getting out of control. I want her off the street.

"I don't think being somewhere for six weeks is going to cure her problems," he said, referring to Amy's recent stint in rehab.

"I think it needs far more radical measures. We will take the bull by the horns and deal with it.

"I want Amy to be somewhere where she will be safe and where no harm can come to her.

"Obviously as her dad I will try and do what's best for her.

"Unfortunately, what I think is best for Amy and what she thinks is best for her are two different things.

"And it might be that other parties might need to be involved.

"You need all four—the psychologists, the doctor, the local health authority and the next of kin—all to decide that somebody is sectionable.

"Now is the time to exert whatever pressure we have to try to do it.

"I've told them she is a danger to herself. There is evidence of self-harming and she's a danger to other people because she's attacked someone."

On Saturday last week, Amy, 24, was released from a Central London police station after spending a night in cells before being cautioned for common assault.
