Apology: Amy appeared on her doorstep to say sorry for racist chants
Troubled singer Amy Winehouse has apologised after being caught in yet another shameful video which shows her surrounded by evidence of drugs and singing racist chants.
The home video footage was filmed by husband Blake Fielder-Civil, who is currently in prison facing trial for GBH and conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.
Amy's latest shocking video comes just days after Sir Ian Blair called for celebrities caught taking drugs on camera to be put on trial.
The Metropolitan Police Commissioner said jurors should be given the chance to decide if illegal substances have been taken, reasoning that: 'a sensible jury would not expect people to be snorting talcum powder'.
The video, which was reportedly handed to the News of a World by a friend, shows Amy, 24, and another woman singing racist football chants to the tune of children's song 'Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes'.
However they have replaced the words with 'Blacks, pakis, gooks and nips' followed by: 'And deaf and dumb and blind and gay'.
A coffee table can be seen in the background displaying six cigarette lighters and a substance which looks like heroin on a foil.
In another section Blake, 26, asks Amy to perform a sex act on him in the public stairwell of a hotel. This is followed by a confused sequence showing shots of the steps and carpet.
Further footage shows Amy asleep while a friend Eddie discusses which drugs they have taken. He tells Blake 'A little bit of E, a little bit of C and a few beers, watched telly, smoked crack.'
Several photos of Amy have also been released including pictures of her surrounded with a pipe made from a bottle, and silver foil which appear to be drug taking paraphernalia.
Powder: Amy was pictured earlier this year with white powder on her nostrils
In one photo, a woman stands in front of a coffee table covered with evidence of drug taking including a ripped Rizla packet, empty cocaine wraps, a plastic cash card and a rolled up bank note.
In another, Babyshambles guitarist Mik Whitnall is pictured smoking from what appears to be a glass crack pipe.
The friend who released the video and photos claimed she did it to show the hold Blake has on Amy.
'Blake's clearly the instigator behind the idea of them having risky public sex. It looks like the camera was a new toy he wanted to try out,' the source told the News of the World.
She added: 'Some might say Blake's been the unwitting architect of Amy's downfall. But to risk all Amy's achievements and all her future by committing this sort of material to camera is beyond the pale.'
The damning video was revealed just as Amy's father, Mitch Winehouse insisted she was beating her drug addictions.
He admitted he had seen his daughter look like she was dying but said he was confident of her recovery from drug addiction.
'If people could see the real Amy - the full picture, not just the worst photos - they would realise she is not in a constant pit of misery or permanently drug-addled.
'She's upbeat -even jolly- and she's been writing some fantastic new songs. She's really looking forward to performing again,' he told The People newspaper.
The 57-year-old taxi driver added: 'She is getting better, working hard, standing by her husband and desperate to have a family.
'I honestly think in two years she will be fit, healthy and having babies - and motherhood will be her drug.'
It is not the first time Amy has been caught in a controversial video. In January this year a video emerged showing her appearing to smoke crack cocaine.
A copy of the film was handed over at the request of the Metropolitan Police, but the star avoided prosecution because police could not prove what substance she was taking.
Amy appeared on the steps of her London home this morning and said sorry to photographers for her racist chants.
