Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace banned from Amy Winehouse funeral

Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace has admitted that she was banned from friend Amy Winehouse's funeral this week over reports that she encouraged the singer's destructive lifestyle.

The Big Brother contestant was barred from a private service commemorating the 'Back To Black' star on Tuesday after the 27-year-old's parents Mitch and Janis suspected that the pair had partied before her death last Saturday.

However, Horgan-Wallace today insisted that her last meeting with Winehouse had been a low-key affair and claimed that she would never attempt to jeopardise the Grammy-winner's victory over her addictions.

"I went to her flat and drank tea and she told me how happy she was with [boyfriend] Reg [Traviss]," Horgan-Wallace told The People.

"I can't believe she has gone. It is so heartbreaking because Amy had done the impossible, she had dealt with her addiction, admitted she had a problem and I believe she was clean before she died.

"I am now saying goodbye to Amy in my own way," she added. "I was told there wasn't enough space at the funeral but then her parents thought I was out partying with her in the days before she died [but] I wasn't. I hadn't seen Amy for a good few weeks before she died.

"I want to grieve for my friend, who had a huge heart and is the best artist of my lifetime."

Horgan-Wallace revealed this week that she had received "vile" abuse from Winehouse fans accusing her of contributing to the singer's death.

She also claimed today that Winehouse had dreamed of starting a family with Traviss.

Stars invited to Winehouse's funeral included Mark Ronson and her friend Kelly Osbourne, while her ex-husband Blake Fielder-Civil was denied compassionate leave from prison to attend.
