Blake Fielder-Civil's appeal against his conviction for assault and attempting to pervert the course of justice was rejected by London's Court Of Appeal yesterday.
Mr Amy Winehouse (who may not be that for long, if reports that Ms W is planning a divorce are correct) was, of course, jailed for 27 months back in July, but negotiated an early release and left prison on 5 Nov on condition that he went straight to rehab.
Mr Justice Pitchford dismissed the appeal, but encouraged Fielder-Civil to continue with the progress he has made since his release. The celebrity husband, who was present in court on Monday, is quoted as saying: "I am disappointed but not really surprised".
