Amy Winehouse is constantly in denial and needs to be rescued, her mother said.

Janis Winehouse said she just wants her daughter to be okay and “would do whatever it took to make that right”.

Her comments to interviewer Daphne Barak come as ITV News will show footage of the troubled singer trying to play the drums while seemingly under the effect of alcohol as she battled her addiction in her private villa in St Lucia earlier this year.

“The need to rescue her is enormous,” Mrs Winehouse said. “I just want her to be okay and I would do whatever it took to make that right.”

The 25-year-old Back to Black singer's father Mitch added: “I need my daughter to be a whole person again.”

He also blamed his daughter's estranged husband Blake Fielder-Civil for fuelling her drug habit.
