She's one of Britain's biggest music stars, but Amy Winehouse certainly isn't rolling around in cash.

Catching a ride: Amy Winehouse took a cab home from her shopping trip in north London yesterday, but didn't have any money to pay the fare

Short on cash: after scrounging around her house, Amy emerged empty handed

The troubled singer caught a taxi home from a shopping trip to her local newsagents where she picked up icy poles, newspapers, teabags and chocolates, and dashed inside to find some change to pay for her journey.

But a few minutes later emerged empty-handed - and rather embarrassed.

Thankfully for Amy, photographers were on hand to lend her enough money to cover the fee.

Last year it was reported that her mother Janis was in charge of Amy's finances and would give her an allowance of £300 a week in an effort to curb her spending on drugs.

The Rehab singer has been struggling to cope with the absence of husband Blake Fielder-Civil, who has been in Pentonville Prison since November.
