Roll up! Roll up! Amy Winehouse turns herself into a local atrraction...and hands out free ice pops to the kids

Updated 20:31pm on 11 Jun 2008



Amy Winehouse and her home has become a bit of a tourist attraction in Camden.

And it seems she's happy to accommodate the many visitors, even handing out her favourite ice-pops to local kids.

Genereous Amy, dressed for the warm weather in strapless bra top, hotpants and bare feet kindly shared some of her stash of ice-pops with the kids hanging out outside her home.

The generous act is typical of the sideshow like atmosphere outside the singers Camden home, which strangely attracts lots of young fans, and is open all hours to her celebrity friends.

Earlier she could be seen passing the ice pops through the vine-covered window of her home.

Amy was seen days after it was revealed husband Blake Fielder Civil is facing a lengthy jail sentence after  pleading guilty to charges of attempting to pervert the course of justice, and an attack on a pub barman.

Pass the ice-pops: Amy passes ice pops to local kids out the window of her North London home

As Blake awaits sentencing, it was claimed today that Amy pulled out of a meeting with the men involved in the £200,000 bribe plot connected to her husband's assault trial to attend a pop music awards.

Unknown to the Grammy award-winning singer and her husband Blake Fielder-Civil, the meeting between the couple, friend Michael Brown and two middle men would have been taped by the Daily Mirror, London's Snaresbrook Crown Court heard.

But after several hours of waiting, the meeting in October last year, due to take place in Camden, north London, near the star's home, never took place.

Amy's career and personal life appears to be in freefall, due to her ongoing battles with addiction and damaging revelations of her drug-taking which emerged on video earlier this year.

And on the weekend another video emerged of the singer singing a racist song. It is  believed to have been filmed by her husband Blake Fielder-Civil before their nuptials last year.

In response, an apologetic Amy said: 'I don’t want to play anything down, but I’m the least racist person going'.
