Mitch Winehouse has revealed that he once faked serious illness and even a heart attack in an attempt to get his daughter (that Amy Winehouse, yeah?) to quit the drugs. Although that failed (she asked to see details of her father's condition), he said that she has now not taken any drugs since Christmas.
He told The Mirror: "I just didn't know which way to turn. I'd tried everything. I pretended I was seriously ill and even got our doctor to tell Amy that I was dying. Once I even started screaming and said I was having a heart attack, but it didn't work. Amy's not stupid".
