Washington, July 28 : Amy Winehouse used to help her former husband Blake Fielder-Civil get drugs while he served his sentence in prison, the jailbird has revealed.

Fielder-Civil, who was sentenced to 27 months in jail for assaulting a pub landlord in 2007, said the singer helped fund his drug habit while he was behind bars.

"Whenever I needed heroin I would make a phone call to Amy and tell her to to put some money into this specific account," Contactmusic quoted him as saying.

"Sometimes I only needed a 20 pound a day hit, but other times I was taking it constantly all day and could spend 140 pound a day.

"Amy never denied me and she always made sure the money was there, even when she wasn''t visiting me or writing to me," he added. (ANI)
