Mitch Winehouse calls Babyshambles man 'scumbag'

You know when you dad doesn’t like your mates? It makes life a bit… difficult doesn’t it?

Well imagine you’re Amy Winehouse. Then imagine your mate is Pete Doherty.

Problematic, eh?

Winehouse’s dad Mitch has said he was “apoplectic” to see Pete hanging with Amy.

He told The Times: “I do worry about people like Pete Doherty. He’s a scumbag. I flipped when I saw him sitting with [B]Amy backstage at her Brixton gig. That night I went crazy. My wife thought I was going to have a heart attack, I was apoplectic.”

It could be worse right? She could be married to a Pete lookalike... Oh wait.
