No it’s not another pun leading into a horrific story relating to Amy Winehouse and crack cocaine…for once. It is actually good news. It’s not often I get to put the two things in the same sentence but yes, I can actually report something good about Amy Winehouse…probably for the first time in months.

It seems that the troubled singer is slowly beginning to win her battle with drugs. The Back to Black star has spent four days in rehab, where she is ‘delighting’ doctors with her progress; especially as she hasn’t even tried to do a runner. For the first time it actually looks like Amy is making an effort to sort herself out.

A relieved close family friend said last night: “Although Amy is still taking each day at a time she has done the hardest thing in the world by going into rehab. She has been ill and is withdrawing but at least she is sticking with it as she detoxes. With her family’s support we are hopeful that there is finally light at the end of the tunnel as she weans herself off drugs. She will stay in rehab for as long as it takes even if it is three or four weeks. Nobody is saying it will be easy, but things are looking good at the moment and doctors are encouraged.”

Watch this space to find out if the rehab will stick…
