Winehouse mum: 'Amy is in denial'

Janis Winehouse has said that her daughter Amy is always in denial about her drug use.

Speaking to filmmaker Daphne Barak for an upcoming documentary, Janis said that she would do anything to make Amy better, ITV News reports.

She said: "The need to rescue her is enormous. I just want her to be okay and I would do whatever it took to make that right.

"Amy is in denial all the time. She probably feels trapped, her body is trapping her. But I know with addiction you do not have the choice because the substance itself directs you."

She added: "I want to say to her: 'Amy, what are you doing? Don't you know what you're doing?' But she by then has got herself on to it to help her get through and I understand that."
