It is being reported today that Amy Winehouse's mother in law has called the singer a heroin and cocaine addict.

Speaking to The Mirror, Winehouse’s mother-in-law, Georgette Civil-Fielder, said of the singer the singer had confessed to her.

“She told me she was addicted to heroin and cocaine,” claimed Blake Civil-Fielder's mother.

She also suggsted that during Amy Winehouse and husband Blake ’s hotel stay following her drug overdose last Tuesday (August 7), the couple were delivered heroin by a friend, which they allegedly took in the hotel.

Amy Winehouse is currently in the Causeway drug rehab centre in Essex, casting doubt on whether Winehouse will perform this weekend’s V Festival (August 18 and 19) as scheduled.

This morning a V Festival spokesperson told NME.COM that they had heard no word from Winehouse's camp about a possible cancelation, and so still expected her to play.
