Amy Winehouse puts on 2st

At last! She fills out by tucking into fry-ups

Amy Winehouse is having a fantastic time in St Lucia

A holiday in St Lucia has done for Amy Winehouse what concerned friends and family couldn’t – it’s got the troubled singer on to proper meals and looking back to her best.

‘People blamed the drugs for Amy’s appearance, but she’s always struggled with eating disorders,’ a friend tells Now.

‘Her chaotic lifestyle meant she would eat kebabs or burgers, but that was rare. She’d gorge on sugar, too, if she got weak. She never ate three meals a day.’

While that may have been the singer’s dietary approach in London, the St Lucia sunshine has worked wonders.

She’s put on a total of 2st since reaching her thinnest last summer, just from eating regular meals.

Amy, 25, loves the spicy food on the Caribbean island and has been eating plenty of carb-heavy food and fry-ups since she began her stay in the exclusive LeSport Spa and Resort before Christmas.

In fact, friends say she’s so keen on St Lucia that she’s considering moving there to work on her music rather than heading back home for her next album.

‘Amy’s almost got curves again, like she did before Back To Black,’ says the friend. ‘It’s the heaviest and healthiest she’s been in a long time.

‘She’s been strong enough to get back to the gym again, which is something she really used to enjoy. If she comes home to her Camden flat now, some of us are wondering if she’ll just fall back into bad old habits.'
