Amy Winehouse's jailed husband has attempted to put his troubles behind him by turning to God.

Blake Fielder-Civil, who is facing charges of GBH and attempting to fix a trial, has been consulting the Bible and speaking to Pentonville prison's chaplain in recent weeks.

"He's obviously a very troubled young man and has found comfort in religion," a source told the News of the World. "Quite a few people who are inside prison turn to God because they've got nothing else.

"When that metal door slams shut and you're alone with just your thoughts and no drugs, religion is the alternative."

Blake has also spoken to doctors about the possibility of having an implant fitted to help him beat his heroin addiction. The idea was suggested by Babyshambles frontman Pete Doherty, who had the same device fitted two years ago.

The insider revealed: "Blake is willing to give the implant a go. The medical team are now looking at another consultation before fitting the implant. The medical team suggested rehab or the implant.

"Blake was allowed to speak to Pete Doherty to discuss what having the implant was like. It was a way of persuading him that he could kick drugs."

Winehouse's father Mitch has warned that he will only support her relationship with Blake if they both manage to stay "drugs-free".
