Amy Winehouse turns once again to father Mitch to help her out of her latest crisis

After being caught singing racist chants and surrounded by evidence of drugs in a shameful home video, the self-confessed 'daddy's girl' was obviously in need of some paternal support.

Winehouse appeared calm and almost childlike as she clung on to father Mitch yesterday as they strolled to a local restaurant in London's Camden area.

With husband Blake Fielder-Civil in prison facing trial for GBH, Mitch has become his world-famous daughter's rock as she lurches from one crisis to the next.

He's her rock: Amy Winehouse leans once more on dad Mitch for support following her latest headline antics. The father and daughter visited a local restaurant in London's Camden

The singer met up with Mitch after chatting amiably to fans who had waited for up to five hours outside her home hoping to catch a glimpse of their idol.

The singer was still in good spirits after returning home in the early hours of this morning where she made an appearance once more at her front door, despite it being 2am.

Some lucky fans were invited in, while others were sent off to the local shop to buy some provisions for the night.

She told the paparazzi how much she misses Fielder-Civil and is delighted he'll be out in six weeks.

Her latest headline grabbing antic shows the star and another woman singing racist football chants to the tune of children's song  'Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes'.

In the home video filmed by Fielder-Civil, the Back to Black singer has 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 Fielder-Civil, 26, asks Winehouse 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 Winehouse asleep while a friend Eddie discusses which drugs they have taken. He tells Fielder-Civil  'A little bit of E, a little bit of C and a few beers, watched telly, smoked crack.'

Several photos of the singer 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.

However last night, her troubles seemed a world away as she held on tightly to Mitch, her chief supporter and unofficial spokesperson.

"If people could see the real Amy - the full picture, not just the worst photos - they would realis she is not in a constant pit of misery or permanently drug-addled," he said recently before yesterday's damning revelations.

"She's upbeat -even jolly - and she's been writing some fantastic new songs. She's really looking forward to performing again."

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.

She's only 24, but Amy's addictions have clearly taken their toll on her teeth
