Amy's mum rubbishes Blake's payout hopes

The mother of Amy Winehouse has warned Blake Fielder-Civil that he will be "disappointed" if he expects to make millions from divorcing the singer.

Reports have claimed that Fielder-Civil is hoping for a £3 million payout if he parts from Winehouse, though she has denied rumours of a marriage crisis.

In an interview with the Daily Mail, Janis Winehouse insisted that Blake has no chance of securing a seven-figure sum - and also singled out his mother Georgette for criticism.

"I think she's fighting a good case for her son so he gets a good payout from any divorce - although I, personally, find the concerned mother act a bit hard to swallow," Janis explained. "I've never met her, and I probably never will, and I certainly won't bother extending the hand of friendship because I believe she would only bite it off.

"What I can tell you is that if Blake is expecting a bumper pay-off, then he is going to be disappointed. I keep reading figures saying Amy is worth £10 million. Well, I handle her finances and I know exactly what she has - and she doesn't even have £1 million."

Blake is currently on remand at London's Pentonville prison after being charged with GBH and attempting to pervert the course of justice.

Janis added: "Blake has his court case coming up very shortly so we will see what happens. If he stays behind bars, I could sleep more easily at night because it might finally mean an opportunity for Amy to move on. But you also have to guard against her playing the lovelorn prison widow."
