Amy Winehouse must pay her husband’s £300,000 legal bill.

The ‘Rehab’ singer will have to settle the costs - which could spiral to £500,000 - after her spouse Blake Fielder-Civil’s appeal for legal aid to fight charges of assault and perverting the course of justice was rejected.

Blake - who is currently being held at London’s Pentonville Prison awaiting trial - has been accused of offering a barman £200,000 to change his story, after Blake and a friend were accused of grievous bodily harm.

Amy’s father Mitch has defended his daughter over claims made by Blake’s mother Georgette that she has neglected her husband in prison, telling Grazia magazine: “Amy is going to pay for his legal team and that will be a lot of money.

“I don’t see how anyone can say she’s not doing anything for him. His mother hasn’t been forthcoming with an offer to out her hand in her pocket, so maybe she should keep her opinions to herself.”

Mitch, 57, also rubbished reports Amy - who is set to be questioned by police over the incident and could face a jail sentence if she is linked to the conspiracy to clear her husband - has made a prison suicide pact with Blake.

He added: “It’s nonsense. Amy is on the road to recovery and there’s no way she would ever consider that.”
