Lying on her back on a wet pavement and in a flood of tears troubled Amy Winehouse has certainly lost something.

But on this occasion, however, the only thing the fallen star noticed was missing was the keys to her house.

Amy, 24, today returned to the property she shared with locked-up husband Blake Fielder-Civil after moving out on Monday claiming it held “too many memories”.

But after a 30-minute visit to the jailbird in London's Pentonville Prison earlier this afternoon the crying jazz singer realised she had no way of getting in.

However, never one to eschew drama, Amy decided the best way of getting inside would be to crawl under the courtyard gates.

So, with the waiting crowd of paparazzi who have become a daily feature of her life, she lay down on the wet pavement and wriggled through.

"It was bizarre," one onlooker revealed.

"When she got out of the car she was visibly upset and started looking around for her keys.

"Then she sat down on the ground with her back against the gate, lopped to one side, lay on her back and crawled underneath the gate.

"I was surprised she managed to get herself under there but she managed to get through.

"After that she dusted herself down, opened the gate to get a bag from her driver and went inside."

The extraordinary gate scenes are the latest example of the star's increasingly erratic behaviour recently.

At 4.15am this morning she was pictured making a dash to a 24 hour store in Bow to pick up a giant box of ice pops.

Celebrity pal Sadie Frost arrived at the Bow residence at 6am after a distress call from the troubled star.

Last week her UK tour was cancelled after a series of shambolic performances in which she slurred incoherently and stumbled round the stage.

On Sunday she wandered the streets barefoot in the early hours wearing just a bra and jeans.

The following day she was seen walking around outside without shoes, asking builders for cigarettes.
