Amy Winehouse snubs book deal

Rex Features

Amy Winehouse has reportedly turned down a lucrative book deal.

The singer and husband Blake Fielder-Civil were rumoured to be in negotiations with publisher Penguin to write a tell-all account of their turbulent relationship. However, Winehouse has shelved the idea because she feels too young to write about her life.

A source told the Daily Star: "Amy's been batting off book deals for over a year, but the latest offer would have earned her millions.

"But she thought the idea was ludicrous and turned it down outright. Firstly, she feels she's far too young at 24 and secondly, when she does get round to publishing her life story, she wants to write it herself. She doesn't need a ghost writer."
