Amy Winehouse 'gains weight by eating sweets'

Troubled singer looks more healthy

Amy Winehouse's husband Blake Fielder-Civil is still banged up

Amy Winehouse is apparently feasting on sweets and health food to put on weight.

And the singer, who was snapped with a curvier look and clearer skin at the weekend, already seems to be reaping the benefits of her new eating habits.

‘Amy's been told to give up the smoking and is trying to cut down,’ says a source. ‘She's replaced the fags with traditional pick 'n' mix, installing a £5,000 fairground sweetshop in her pad.

‘She's been gorging herself on candy but we'd rather she was overdosing on sugary cola bottles than crack cocaine.

'Amy's put on around a stone in weight and is now a much healthier 8 stone. She's still very slender - just not worryingly skeletal.’

Amy, 25, checked out of The London Clinic on Friday, where she was undergoing medical examinations.

‘She has had some time out of late, prioritising her health and trying to get her life back on track,’ the source tells the Daily Mirror.

‘She underwent various tests and scans in hospital, checking that her emphysema hadn't returned, and was delighted to be given a clean bill of health.’
