Amy Winehouse has denied claims that her romance with music producer Mark Ronson is in trouble.

The singer has explained that while her relationship can be turbulent, she is happy with Mark and is currently enjoying a romantic break with him in the US.

"It's funny how these stories about us rowing in pubs and having a hard time go flying around and I'm here lying in bed with him in New York - all loved up," she told the Daily Star. "People love concentrating on the negatives and we are a fiery couple so it is easy for them.

"But I love him and we've worked through our bad patch to be happy for Christmas."
