Winehouse bids to stay in private clinic

Amy Winehouse has reportedly been charming nurses in a London clinic by helping them with their other patients.

Winehouse checked herself into the clinic two weeks ago after a suspected seizure caused by a cocktail of drink and drugs left her hospitalised.

The Sun reports that Winehouse, 25, has turned to nursing to avoid being sent home after she reportedly escaped last week for a drinking session.

An insider said: "She has been charming the nurses by helping them with their tasks. She's been mucking in."

Winehouse's husband Blake Fielder-Civil announced that he was ending their marriage last week, with a report claiming that he has asked for a £1 million pay-off to keep quiet about their marriage.
