Mitch Winehouse has said that he believes his late daughter Amy would have married and had children with boyfriend Reg Traviss.
The 'Back To Black' star was found dead at her Camden home in July. Speaking to The Sun, Mitch praised the 27-year-old's film director partner.
"When Reg came on the scene, he was a breath of fresh air. I believe they would have married," he said. "She wanted to have children and what nicer person to have them with than Reg. His manners are from a bygone era. He looked like my dad in the 1940s.
"It is so sad they never had the life they planned. They would have been on holiday now, for Amy's birthday."
Fondly recalling his daughter's progress in overcoming her drug addiction, Mitch joked that her recovery could be traced "from her wardrobe".
"When she was on drugs, everything was in a heap on the floor," he said. "Then as she recovered the house became presentable. If there was a world championship for folding clothes, she would win it.
"In the last six months of her life, even when she was drinking, she wasn't depressed at all."
He added: "It's funny the things you remember. I wouldn't say she was a great cook. She made me meatballs, but if you had thrown them at someone, it would have killed them."
