Amy back in rehab and out of V Festival

Amy Winehouse was back into rehab today after she pulled out from performing at this weekend's V Festival.

The singer, who has been in and out of treatment since she collapsed last week, has returned to the Causeway clinic in Essex, having spent 24 hours away.

She has enjoyed the past two nights out in Camden pubs with her husband Blake Fielder-Civil - even pulling pints for other customers.

She returned to rehab as Fielder-Civil, 25, defended himself for the first time today against claims he was to blame for his wife's cocaine and heroin addiction.

Fielder-Civil, who also uses heroin, claimed they had only left for London "to get a guitar" before going back.

He said: "Everyone thinks that everything that's happened to Amy is my fault and I'm portrayed as the bad guy. But I love her so, so much. She's so precious to me, she's my wife and I want to take care of her, that's why I'm taking her back to rehab."

Winehouse has cancelled her performance at this weekend's V Festival in Chelmsford and all her touring commitments for this month so she can recover. She was taken to hospital last week after an alleged overdose from taking a cocktail of heroin, cocaine, ketamine and alcohol.

After crisis talks with her parents and in-laws she checked into the £10,000-aweek Causeway Centre.

Winehouse, who cancelled a concert in France, is scheduled to tour Canada and the US next month before returning to Europe in October.
