Pete Doherty has proved an unlikely source of support for Amy Winehouse, revealing that he speaks to the troubled soul singer every day to offer his advice.
The Babyshambles star, who is battling heroin and crack cocaine addiction, has been helping Winehouse to overcome her own alleged drug problems and the imprisonment of her husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, earlier this month.
Doherty said: "I speak to her nearly every day. She just wants her man back for Christmas. They are desperately in love.
"One good thing is that Blake has got clean since he has been in prison. It's been quite an awakening. Amy stopped doing everything since he went in. She realises how much they have to lose. They are going to lose each other if it carries on. Love, music and melody is the way forward."
Fielder-Civil, 25, is currently being held at London's Pentonville Prison after his arrest earlier this month on suspicion of perverting the course of justice in relation to a charge of grievous bodily harm.
