Amy Winehouse's dad has written speech for her funeral

Mitch fears his daughter is on a path to hell

Amy Winehouse's father Mitch is terrified drug-taking has affected her heart so badly, she could drop dead.

The troubled star, 24, was rushed to hospital in August after reportedly overdosing on a cocktail of cocaine, ecstasy, Ketamine and marijuana.

'I wrote a eulogy for Amy myself last month,' Mitch, 56, tells the Daily Star Sunday. 'When she had her seizure and was taken to hospital, I really thought that could be it.

'The doctors told us even a whiff of another drug could kill her.'

Amy and husband Blake Fielder-Civil holidayed in the Caribbean to try and put their problems behind them, but since her return to the UK, the singer's behaviour has still been erratic.

Most recently she failed to turn up to accept a Q Award.

'Blake is a bad influence on her and I no longer toe the line and pretend he isn’t,' says Mitch.

'For Amy and Blake to beat their drug problems they have to go into rehab separately and he won’t let her do that.

'They don’t see themselves as having a problem.'
