The star forked out large sums of money to feed her heroin addiction, according to her former assistant manager.

Alex Haines, who worked with the singer until May 2008, also claims to have had an affair with her while she was married to Blake Fielder-Civil.

"She had to have a heroin and crack pipe near her or she freaked out," he told the News Of The World. "She’d keep taking drugs until she passed out. I reckon she spent £3,500 a week on them."

Haines also claimed that Winehouse has the eating disorder bulimia.

"Amy suffered from bulimia, which is why she looked so thin. She would have a massive McDonalds and then throw it all up in the bathroom. I found my toothbrush covered in sick, and asked her about it," he said. "She went really sheepish but told me she suffered from it for a long time.

"Several times I went into her bathroom and saw sick all over the sink. She lived off Crunchie bars - up to 10 at a time - packets of Haribo sweets and bottles of orange Lucozade Sport. Her heroin problems made her crave sugar."

Winehouse has reportedly decided to reunite with Fielder-Civil after spending the Christmas holiday in St. Lucia.
