Winehouse banned from US, says dad

Amy Winehouse's father has claimed that the singer is banned from the US following her arrest two weeks ago.

Speaking on This Morning, Mitch Winehouse revealed that his daughter is struggling with bulimia and that her arrest for cannabis possession in Norway means American authorities will not allow her to tour.

The taxi-driver said: "This is being dealt with now by the Norwegian authorities and the British Consulate. The ramifications of it is she now can’t get into the States - and she was meant to go next week."

He added: "She’s not drinking as heavily now but there are other problems. Bulimia is still apparent. She’s put on about a stone but it’s still affecting her health. And there’s substance abuse as well."
