Blake Fielder-Civil, the jailed husband of Amy Winehouse, has chosen to remain in prison rather than accept early release and live with his mother.
According to The Sun, Fielder-Civil was offered parole on the proviso that he wore an electronic tag, obeyed a 7pm curfew and agreed to move in with his mother Georgette in Nottinghamshire.
The 26-year-old insisted that he be released to his home in Camden, North London, prompting the parole board to withdraw its offer.
A source reportedly said: "It was all set for him to be released, but because he refused to go to anywhere other than Camden, it was refused at the last minute.
"He doesn’t want to go somewhere where he can't be reunited with Amy and his friends. He'd rather stay inside. The Prison Service feared he would break his parole if he was surrounded by the temptations of his old stomping ground."
Winehouse is thought to be distraught at her husband's parole denial, with the source adding: "Amy is so upset because she thought he would be out for good."
Fielder-Civil is serving a 27-month sentence for GBH and perverting the course of justice at Highpoint Prison in Suffolk.
