Singer and husband really do say 'No, no, no'

Amy Winehouse quit her rehab programme last night (August 15).

The singer who was in Causeway centre on a private island on the Essex coast, left the rehabilitation unit with husband Blake Fielder Civil via a helicopter.

After her departure Winehouse assured reporters that she was OK, explaining, “Oh my God, what the hell happened to last week? I’m fine, don’t worry.”

Winehouse is then was said to have visited a private doctor’s surgery in London for a brain scan after she had a seizure during her drugs overdose, reports The Mirror.

Her father-in-law Giles Fielder-Civil said: “Amy has had five days away from drugs and her self-esteem and confidence is slowly coming back. I hope she and Blake can take control of their lives.”

Winehouse is expected to play the V Festival this weekend (August 18-19). NME.COM will be bringing coverage live from both of the event's sites this weekend, so tune in to see if Winehouse makes it to the shows.
